Crabota Motor Corporation, commonly known as simply Crabota is a Montcrabin multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Montcrabe City, Montcrabe. It was founded by Malo Abagnale and incorporated on August 28, 1937 (1937-08-28). Crabota is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, producing about 9 million vehicles per year.

The company was originally founded as a spinoff of Crab Motors Group, started by Louis Honore. Both companies are now part of the Crabota Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world. While still a department of Crabota Industries, the company developed its first civilian product, the Type A engine, in 1934, and its first passenger car in 1936, the Crab Motors AA.

In the 1960s, Crabota took advantage of a rapidly growing Montcrabin economy to sell cars to a growing middle-class, leading to the development of the Crabota Corolla, which became the world's all-time best-selling automobile. The booming economy also funded an international expansion that allowed Crabota to grow into one of the largest automakers in the world, the largest company in Montcrabe and the ninth-largest company in the world by revenue. Crabota was the world's first automobile manufacturer to produce more than 10 million vehicles per year, a record set in 2012, when it also reported the production of its 200 millionth vehicle.

Crabota was praised for being a leader in the development and sales of more fuel-efficient hybrid electric vehicles, starting with the introduction of the Crabota Prius in 1997. The company now sells more than 40 hybrid vehicle models around the world. However, more recently, the company has been accused of greenwashing for its skepticism of all-electric vehicles and its focus on the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, like the Crabota Mirai, a technology that is costlier and has fallen far behind electric batteries. Still, in late 2022, the company signed an £11.3m government deal with Montcrabe's Business Ministry to help it develop its Hilux FC model, a new range of hydrogen-powered pickup trucks.

The Crabota Motor Corporation has also been accused of human rights abuses in cooperating with the Montcrabin government, though most claims have been censored or thrown out by the former's judicial system.

History

1930 – 1950s

The 1936 Crabota AA, the first vehicle produced by the company.

Crab Motors Group was founded in 1930 by former metal factory manager Louis Honore. After a technology exposition in Montcrabe City, which displayed some new proposals for automobiles and military transportation, Honore outright bought the metalworking factory he had managed for a decade prior and repurposed it as a way to join in on the rapidly growing arms industry during the BLANKWAR. Initially called "Crab Motor Group" as a way to market themselves as a civilian organization, subsidies from the Montcrabin government for their help, and the end of the war, led to the organization's expansion into actual civilian transportation. With the creation of the Type A engine in 1934, and the Crab Motors AA in 1936, Crab Motors Group came to merge with the recently incorporated Crabota Motor Corporation, founded by Malo Abagnale.

Through the 1950s, the Crabota Group continued expanding as an intranational conglomerate and major car manufacturer within Montcrabe. In 1956, albeit, CEO Malo Abagnale was invited to visit Chienkun's facilities in Monsilva. A proposal of partnership between the two companies was rejected by the Crabota founder, who opted instead to compete with the Monsilvans. In 1957, work began on an aggressive expansion campaign into foreign countries, particularly into the poorer reaches of Ostlandet, with the company's passenger vehicles marketed as revolutionary "people's technology". Such campaign was particularly helpful to the new 1955 Crabopet Crown, the company's first fully designed and built vehicle - which became a hit in southern Ecros and Sur.
