10:30 AM Some people have a thing for words; some for numbers. Numbers have meaning for people |
| Some people have a thing for words; some for numbers. Numbers have
meaning for people, and some are associated with people. For example,
the number 23 is associated with one of basketballs greatest players,
Michael Jordan. The number 365 is recognized as the number of days in a
year, and a childs first birthday, birkenstock clogs
or a couples 50th wedding anniversary, is always a special occasion.
Numbers also figure in interesting facts about Japanese cars, especially
for Toyota Motor Corporation. What are some of the numbers that Toyota
feels strongly about?7000Toyota creates around seven thousand prototypes
each yearit is from prototypes that the company comes up with new car
models. Vehicle safety and crash testing, among other mechanical tests,
are done on prototypes. These prototypes are continually improved until
Toyota comes up with a safe and reliable Womens Birkenstock Larisa Sandals
model to be mass-produced.5There are five senses of the human body. It
is Toyotas belief that a sports car should be able to stimulate all
five: sight (the cars design birkenstock sandals
and interior components), smell (the scent of the tires and the brake
pads after a long, challenging drive), touch (vehicle handling and
shifting), hearing (engine soun and exhaust), and taste (the vehicles
behavior and flavor).900Another interesting fact about Japanese cars is
that they wouldnt have that rock-solid reputation for reliability
without undergoing rigorous sets of tests in various road conditions.
One of the tests Toyota conducts is the Rough Road Durability Test,
where poor road conditions are recreated and through which cars are
driven a total of 900 kilometers in a single day. This shows how capable
Toyotas are even when faced with the most unfavorable driving
conditions.80Part of Toyotas greening initiatives is adopting a new
Ecological Plastic that is derived from plant sources. These materials
are used for interior components that are usually subjected to frequent
wear and tear, such as floor carpets and seat covers. The new
plant-based plastic is now used for almost eighty percent of the
interior component surfaces; the durability, thermal resistance, and
stretch resistance are dramatically improved on these parts.1997This is
the year that Toyota pioneered the mass-production of hybrid vehicles
with the Prius. Hybrids use a combination of fuel and electricity to
power up the engine, dramatically reducing fuel consumption and
decreasing harmful carbon dioxide emissions.6Toyota coats its cars with
six layers of paint to prevent deterioration from prolonged exposure to
the sun. This is a little-known but interesting fact about Japanese cars
by Toyota, and this is why their cars stay vivid and beautiful through
the years.0.1Toyotas airbags take only 0.05 seconds to fully unfold;
thats 0.1 seconds in total for deployment including deflation. This
instantaneous reaction protects passengers from injury during
emergencies. Whats more interesting is that the human eye blinks between
0.1 and 0.3 secondsairbag deployment is actually faster than the blink
of an eye!70,000,000Toyotas hybrid vehicles (approximately 4 million
units sold as of April 2012) have contributed to lessening the volume of
carbon dioxide emissions. Compared to emissions from purely gas-powered
vehicles, Toyotas eco-cars have reduced emissions by about twenty-six
billion tonsequivalent to seventy million drum cans.Toyotas special
numbers gave us some interesting facts about Japanese cars manufacture,
history, product philosophy, and even environmental contribution. Were
sure other auto manufacturers have their own special numbers as well!
