Toyota to Build Second Vehicle Plant in Indonesia
Annual Local Capacity to Increase to 180,000 Vehicles in Early 2013
Toyota City, Japan, September 13, 2011—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that PT. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN), TMC's vehicle production subsidiary in Indonesia, plans to build a second plant adjacent to its existing Karawang Plant to meet demand in the growing Indonesian market.
Karawang Plant No. 2 is scheduled to start production of new vehicle models in early 2013 at an annual pace of 70,000 units. Total cash investment for construction is expected to be 26.3 billion yen and new hires for TMMIN are also planned.
The existing Karawang Plant has an annual production capacity of 110,000 vehicles1 and produces the "Kijang Innova" and the "Fortuner"—core vehicles of the Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle (IMV) Project2—that are sold in the domestic market and also exported to Thailand, South Africa and other regions. The two plants will give Toyota an annual production capacity of 180,000 vehicles in Indonesia in early 2013.
Separately, to commemorate Toyota's 40th year of business in Indonesia, a ceremony will be held today in Jakarta to be attended by government officials, suppliers, TMC President Akio Toyoda, TMMIN President Masahiro Nonami and PT. Toyota-Astra Motor3 President Johnny Darmawan Danusasmita.
As expressed in the Toyota Global Vision announced in March, TMC plans to further strengthen its activities in emerging markets and to continue producing vehicles that exceed consumer expectations.
