Toyota has announced a $3.6 billion investment in its San Antonio, Texas campus, which will result in the addition of a second production line at the facility. The investment will lead to the creation of 2,000 new jobs, bringing the total workforce at the campus to around 6,000. The new production line will be used to shift Tacoma production from Mexico to the United States.
The investment will also result in the doubling of the facility's size to 5 million square feet. Toyota North American President and CEO Ted Ogawa stated, "By expanding our San Antonio plant, we are deepening our commitment to American manufacturing, creating meaningful and sustainable jobs, while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers today and into the future."
