Toyota to Build Truck Plant in San Antonio
From Associated Press
Toyota Motor Corp. has picked San Antonio as the site for its next U.S. plant, investing $800 million for a truck assembly plant expected to employ about 2,000 people, the automaker said. It will be Toyota’s sixth vehicle production plant in North America.
The company said in September that it hoped to add a production plant in North America near Mexico, where it is building a factory expected to begin production in 2005.
The 2,000-acre San Antonio factory will help Toyota keep pace with demand for light trucks in North America, the company said.
The plant is expected to build about 150,000 Tundra pickup trucks a year, beginning in 2006.
