Toyota Production In North America Nearly 2 Million In 2018
January 30, 2019 by ToyotaMore than 38 Million Vehicles Produced in North America Since 1986
PLANO, Texas (Jan. 28, 2019) – In 2018, Toyota built 1,935,230 vehicles at its North American vehicle assembly plants. Since 1986, Toyota's total vehicle production in North America has reached more than 38 million.
Toyota's philosophy is to build where we sell and buy where we build. Positive economic factors such as low fuel prices, continued stability in the overall economy and strong customer demand for trucks and SUVs were all key drivers for 2018 production.
'Every part and every vehicle that rolls off the line reflects our commitment to safety, quality, value and, above all, our passion for exceeding customer expectations,' said Chris Reynolds, chief administrative officer, Manufacturing and Corporate Resources, Toyota Motor North America. 'Our ongoing success is due to the hard work and dedication of team members at our 14 manufacturing plants in North America.'
Toyota's 15th manufacturing plant, a joint venture with Mazda, is scheduled to open in Huntsville, Alabama, in 2021.
