☆ Toyota

mil86070-s.jpg

今日はトヨタのお話です。
創設者の名字が
そのまま社名になっている
ところは多いですが、
トヨタはその代表例ですね。

Toyota Motor Corporation is extremely popular
in the USA, Europe, Africa and Australia, as well
as Japan. The company was founded in 1933.
An interesting point to make is, that it's also
the only place in Japan to be named after a
Japanese family name. The Toyota family were
the founders of the Toyota company and that is
how a place was also named after them in Japan.
Toyota is popular in Australia because it is
professionally designed and made to suit
the environment. People in western countries want to
buy vehicles that don't take much gas, so Toyota is
good because the design helps save the cost of gas.
It is also a smooth car to drive in the busy city!

土地の広い海外では、車を使う頻度が
日本とは比べものにならないくらいです。
その点で、燃費の良い車は海外で
人気があるのですね。
ガソリン代が高騰している今、
燃費の良い車が売れるのかもしれません。

日本語解説ーベラスタッフ

Dan: "Hey Kelly, how are you doing? How's the fitness club?"

Kelly: "Hey Dan, I'm ok."

Dan: "You don't sound ok, Kelly. You sound like you're running on empty."

Kelly: "Well, actually you're right, Dan. I do feel kind of tired."

Dan: "Why Kelly?"

Kelly: "I guess it's because I've been working out every day at the fitness club, and twice on the weekends, and I haven't been able to rest much!"

Dan: "You need to take a break from exercising so much, Kelly. You need to re-charge your batteries - gain more energy and have a more balanced exercise work-out."

Toyota provides hybrid vehicles that are environmentally friendly as well,such as the Toyota Prius.
I like them very much.

It`s for sure Toyota`s car is good.
It stands to reason that a large amount of ordinary profit.
Toyota is one of frontiers of modern enterprises in Japan.
It`s a fusion of high-tech industory and old way of thinking.
For example "Kanban system" ・・・Just
In Time system called "JIT" in western countries. It is not only industrial engeneering but also management policy, I think.
I had been to Toyota Techno Museum in Nagoya. It is interesting museum.
We inspect of development and movement of Toyota group including Toyota Boshoku (spinning and weaving) Corporation founded at 1918 that the forerunner of global company Toyota.
Alghough it is superfluous to say so,
my wife`s car is Toyota.

Hello again Yusuke:)

I would like to buy a Toyota in Australia. I am interested in the Toyota Rav vehicles. Your recommendation about the Prius sounds good too.

Hi Retsu:)

I am happy to learn that there is a Toyota Museum in Nagoya to visit. Japanese museums are an excellent way for me to get a deeper understanding of the history and the Japanese culture. About 3 or more years ago I went to the Honda Museum exhibition in Tokyo, it was fantastic. I learnt so much about the history and the way of Japanese transport.
