A production system which is steeped in the
philosophy of "the complete elimination of all waste" imbuing all
aspects of production in pursuit of the most efficient methods.
Toyota Motor Corporation's vehicle production
system is a way of "making things" that is sometimes referred to as a
"lean manufacturing system" or a "Just-in-Time (JIT)
system," and has come to be well known and studied worldwide.
This production control system has been
established based on many years of continuous improvements, with the objective
of "making the vehicles ordered by customers in the quickest and most
efficient way, in order to deliver the vehicles as quickly as possible."
The Toyota Production System (TPS) was
established based on two concepts: The first is called "jidoka"
(which can be loosely translated as "automation with a human touch")
which means that when a problem occurs, the equipment stops immediately,
preventing defective products from being produced; The second is the concept of
"Just-in-Time," in which each process produces only what is needed by
the next process in a continuous flow.
Based on the basic philosophies of jidoka and
Just-in-Time, the TPS can efficiently and quickly produce vehicles of sound
quality, one at a time, that fully satisfy customer requirements.

Land Cruiser - Model BJ Series First Truck Generation
The chassis of the Toyota Jeep BJ was based on
the SB-type 1-ton truck (with an S-type 995cc engine) that was originally
released in 1947. The Toyota Jeep BJ was completed in 1951, and first unveiled
that same year at a public showing of Toyota vehicles.

Generation
Improvement
of Toyota Transmission time to time
In first improvement we will see how they
improves corolla transmissions until the latest generation
The Toyota
Corolla is a compact/subcompact car that, in 1997, became the world's
top-selling nameplate; more than 35 million Toyota Corolla vehicles have been
sold over the past 45 years.
Sports car technology was adopted
for the transmission, and the vehicle was equipped with a 4-speed
fully-synchronized manual transmission with a floor type gear change lever.
This marked the first time that this type of transmission was adopted in a
Japanese vehicle, and a sporty, direct shifting feel was achieved. In addition,
Japan's first floor-mounted 2-speed automatic transmission and a steering
column-mounted 4-speed manual transmission, already familiar in other vehicles,
were made available.
Toyota Corolla
is among the best of the compact sedans: reliable and economical yet refined
and comfortable.
Featuring a
4-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive, the Corolla is available with either a
5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed electronically-controlled automatic
transmission. Known for its smaller size, reliability, affordable pricing, and
excellent fuel economy, the Toyota Corolla is considered to be a great starter
vehicle but is not a good choice for a larger family.
The standard
four-cylinder engine revs smoothly and delivers good acceleration performance.
Corolla earns an EPA-estimated 32/40 mpg City/Highway when equipped with a
manual transmission, while the automatic gets 30/38 mpg.. Both the
manual and the automatic transmissions offer smooth shifting, and the manual is
very easy to operate. All models have a smooth, comfortable ride and responsive
handling.
The new Corolla
Axio is available with either a 1.3-liter 1NR-FE or 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE four
cylinder engines; front or all-wheel drive. Both 5-speed manual and CVT
transmissions are offered. The 1.3-liter engine and all-wheel drive variants
are available only with the CVT transmission. The Corolla Fielder is available
with 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE or 1.8-liter 2ZR-FAE four cylinder engines mated with a
CVT transmission. The 1.5-liter is available with front and all-wheel drive,
the 1.8-liter is offered only in front-wheel drive.
Eleventh generation (E160) 2014
The base model Corolla
L is offered with a four-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual
transmission. The six-speed manual is also available in the Corolla S.
A six-speed manual
transmission is available on the Corolla L and S grades. Drive modes that offer
re-calibrated throttle, transmission and steering responses are available on
the Corolla LE Eco and Corolla S. For ECO drive mode on the LE Eco, the initial
throttle inputs are less sensitive to help encourage more fuel-efficient
driving and eliminate sudden starts. On the S grade, the SPORT mode software
helps make the accelerator pedal feel more responsive to input along with
CVTi-S shifting logic that enhances acceleration feel. In sport mode, Corolla's
electronic power steering is programmed to offer a more positive steering feel.
The unibody makes
extensive use of lightweight, high-strength steel to help keep vehicle weight
below 2,900 pounds in the interest of fuel economy. In addition to improved
collision performance, such construction also gives the Corolla's structure
increased rigidity to optimize chassis and suspension performance, giving the
new car a more responsive and engaging driving experience.
That is for corolla transmission improvement. Continue
