In 1946, Salvador Fernandes Caetano co-founded Martins & Caetano & Irmão, Lda, the bus bodywork factory that would later lead to Salvador Caetano. Even today, the bodywork activity is present in the group through CaetanoBus.

The corporate name, which until then was Salvador Caetano IMVT – SA, changed to Toyota Caetano Portugal – S.A, in 2006.
