Yes, Chevrolet (Chevy) and Toyota have collaborated on car production in the past.
The joint venture between General Motors (GM) and Toyota was called New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) and was based in California. NUMMI produced high-quality cars and trucks, including models from both Chevrolet and Toyota. One of the first cars produced by the joint venture was the Chevy Nova in 1984. The partnership allowed for the sharing of manufacturing practices and resources between the two companies.
The Chevy Nova, which was produced from 1985 to 1988, was redesigned in collaboration with Toyota. It was based on the Toyota Sprinter and was powered by Toyota A Series engines. Customers could choose between different engine options and transmissions.
It’s worth noting that Toyota has also collaborated with other automakers on various projects. For example, Toyota owns a stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, the parent company of Subaru, and they have worked together on the development of the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ sports car. Toyota has also partnered with Tesla in the past for the production of electric vehicles.
