In the pressing process, steel plates are cut and punched into parts using one of the largest presses in the industry. The Toyota plant in Yoshua has implemented highly efficient pressing processes through automation. For example, special small batches can be produced and several adjustments can be made for processing each step takes just three seconds applying 1 600 tons of pressure vertically.

In the welding process, three major welding methods are used: spot welding, arc welding, and laser welding. Spot welding is the most common method used in automobile production. Arc welding is used for areas where spot welding is difficult to perform because it cannot be clamped by electrodes. Laser welding is used for high-speed, high-precision joining.

In the painting process, a beautiful paint job starts with a wash. Even just a small amount of debris or oil film can significantly affect paint quality. That is why the paint process starts with cleaning. A rust resistant paint is applied to the body through Electro deposition coating. A middle coat of white, gray, or dark gray is used depending on the body color. Finally, a clear coat is sprayed to add luster.

In the assembly process, the engine, breaks, and other undercarriage components are installed, followed by the bumpers and tires. The frame then goes to the conveyor where the wedding with the body takes place. The body and frame are joined together, and the electrical wiring and ceiling liner are installed. Finally, the windshield, rear glass, seats, and doors are installed.

More than 10,000 Toyota Land Cruisers are produced per day in Toyota's Japan-based plants. They are then shipped to domestic dealerships and around the world.

I hope this summary is helpful!
