The construction of our Russian plant
in St. Petersburg is under way, with
December 2007 slated for production
start-up.
In May 2006, the Camry began rolling
off the line at a newly constructed plant
in Guangzhou, China.
In step with its accelerating worldwide development, Toyota is decisively
moving forward with localization. Focusing particularly on production
activities, which can make significant contributions to local economies,
we are building new plants and increasing the production capacities of
existing plants. The Camry typifies this trend. In May 2006, we started
production of the new Camry in China at a new plant, Guangzhou
Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., with an annual production capacity of 100,000
vehicles. Moreover, the construction of a new plant scheduled to come
onstream in December 2007 is under way in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our
aim is to entrench the Camry’s standing as a global car through the
development of a production network that is more deeply rooted in local
communities.
For our other core global models, which are thriving in markets
worldwide alongside the Camry, we are embarking on new ventures to
fulfill their different missions. Adding to production in Japan and
France, we began building the Yaris in Thailand from January 2006. The
Yaris is already a perennial favorite in Japan and Europe. Also, we have
slated the Corolla for remodeling. Because the Corolla has more model
types and production bases than the Camry, development and produc-
tion preparation call for measures that are even more meticulous and
innovative.
