Toyota Announces $3.6 Billion Expansion and 2,000 New Jobs at Its San Antonio Plant

Toyota Motor North America announced on July 6 that it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus with a second vehicle assembly line dedicated to the Tacoma truck.

Doubling the size of Toyota Texas

The expansion will add 2.5 million square feet to Toyota Texas and double its size by 2030.

Tacoma production moves to the United States

The project will transition Tacoma production from Toyota’s Baja California plant to the United States over an approximate four-year period.

2,000 new jobs in San Antonio

The project will create 2,000 new, high-quality jobs at the San Antonio campus, which already employs thousands of workers producing the Tundra pickup, Sequoia SUV, and rear axles.

Confidence in North America

Ted Ogawa, President and CEO of Toyota Motor North America, said:

“Toyota’s continued investment in North America is a testament to our confidence in the region’s workforce, innovation and long-term growth potential.”
