Twenty-five years later, Toyota leads the production, domestic sales and exports of vehicles in the country. The objective of this paper is to analyze the particularities of the Toyota case in Argentina, in order to identify the explanatory factors of its singular productive and commercial trajectory. The attributes studied to identify the differential features of Toyota will be the trajectory of the automotive groups at a global level, the productive specialization and foreign trade of the automotive companies in Argentina, the use of common platforms in production in the country, the export orientation of production, the incidence of extra-regional exports, and the development of local suppliers, among others. This will make it possible to identify the factors that could be extrapolated to improve the trajectory of the rest of the automotive industry in Argentina (and make visible the limitations that non-extrapolable factors represent in the process), as well as outline the role of public policy in said development. Al inaugurar su planta productiva de Zárate en 1997, Toyota se convirtió en una de las últimas automo­trices globales en instalar una planta en la Argentina. Veinticinco años después, Toyota lidera la producción, ventas internas y exportaciones de vehículos en el país. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las particularidades del caso Toyota en Argentina, de manera de identificar los factores explicativos de su singular trayectoria productiva y comercial. Los atributos estudiados para identificar los rasgos diferenciales de Toyota serán la trayectoria de los grupos automotrices a nivel global, la especialización productiva y de comercio exterior de las automotrices en la Argentina, la utilización de plataformas comunes en la producción del país, la orientación exportadora de la pro­ducción, la incidencia de las exportaciones extrarregionales, y el desarrollo de proveedores locales, entre otras. Esto permitirá identificar los factores extrapolables que podrían mejorar la trayectoria del resto de la industria automotriz en Argentina (y visibilizar las limitaciones que representan los factores no extrapolables en dicho proceso), así como esbozar el rol de la política pública en dicho desarrollo. application/pdf text/html https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2925 10.56503/H-Industria/n.33(17)pp.75-97 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2925/3812 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2925/3796 H-industria.
