The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota spent 1.39 billion U.S. dollars on advertising in U.S. media in 2020. The company made it to the list of top five auto manufacturers based on advertising spending that year, second only to General Motors and ahead of Ford Motor.
Toyota Motor operational highlights
In 2018, Toyota launched Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) to build vehicles on common platforms with common parts. They aimed for flexible manufacturing plants to be responsive to changes in the marketplace. So far, the company has applied TNGA to full-sized models, announcing the Camry and the Lexus LC and LS in 2017, and the Crown and Corolla Sport in 2018. In that same year, Toyota produced a total of 8.96 million vehicles. Toyota is one of the leaders in terms of global car unit sales. What is more, despite the fact that the Japan-headquartered automotive giant faced competition in terms of sales from Germany’s Volkwagen Group and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, it still managed to outsell both companies, by more than million units in early 2021.
