Winston Score History

The full picture

Toyota Motor Corporation makes cars, trucks, and SUVs that it sells to everyday drivers around the world. Its most well-known brands include Toyota and Lexus, and it also owns a majority stake in truck maker Hino and a large share of Daihatsu. Toyota is one of the largest automakers on the planet and pioneered the mass-market hybrid vehicle with its Prius model.

Toyota earns money primarily by selling vehicles through dealerships, but it also runs a large financial services arm that offers loans and leases to car buyers. The company operates factories across Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue. Toyota's main competitive strength is its manufacturing efficiency, built on the famous "Toyota Production System." The biggest risk the company faces is the costly and uncertain transition to fully electric vehicles, where newer rivals have moved faster and hold a stronger early position.
