SAN ANTONIO, July 9 (Our Texas Times) — Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) unit Toyota Motor North America said it will spend $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, add a second assembly line and move Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas, a plan it says will create about 2,000 jobs.
The company said the project will add 2.5 million square feet to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas and double the site by 2030. Toyota said the expanded campus will eventually build the Tacoma alongside the Tundra, Sequoia and rear axles.
Toyota said the San Antonio plant already has one vehicle assembly line and a rear axle plant that is nearing startup, with rear axle production scheduled to begin in fall 2026. The company said the Tacoma shift from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California will take place over about four years.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the investment in Toyota’s announcement. “Texas is where the world builds bigger, and Toyota shows it once more with a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio that doubles their factory footprint and creates 2,000 new jobs,” Abbott said.
Toyota’s Texas manufacturing page lists the second assembly line investment at $3.6 billion, 2,000 employees, 2.5 million square feet and a target opening date of 2030.
