Toyota Corolla Production Reaches 1 Million In The United States

With more than 44 million sales worldwide for more than five decades on the market, the Toyota Corolla is the sole most produced vehicle in the history of the automotive industry. The car is assembled at a number of factories worldwide, including the Japanese company’s Mississippi plant, where the one millionth American-built Corolla just rolled off the line.

The milestone comes only six years after the production of the Corolla in Mississippi started in 2011 and ten years after the plant’s first team member was hired in November 2007. The jubilee Corolla is a red sedan.

"To think this all started with one – one team member, one team, one car, and now the one millionth Corolla is rolling off our line – is incredible,” Sean Suggs, vice president of manufacturing, commented. "This is another feather in the cap of Toyota’s 1,500 team members who come together each day to produce ever-better Corollas. Our team members are the foundation of our success.”

Currently, the world’s most popular vehicle is also manufactured in Japan at the original Toyota Takaoka location built in 1966, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela, each exporting units to the relevant geographic region.
