Ringgit big boast by Toyota.
Toyota Motor Corporation has confirmed plans to build a new factory in Malaysia. The new plant will be located in Bukit Raja Industrial Estate, Klang, and will have an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 units a year, which can be expanded with increased demand. Combined with the current factory, Toyota’s Malaysian production volume will be around 90,000 to 100,000 units per annum.
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) will invest approximately RM2 billion for this project, a total sum that includes land cost, construction, equipment and engineering support from Thailand and Japan. It is the biggest investment ever by UMWT in the company’s history.
The 670,000 square metres new plant is part of Toyota’s plans to reorganise its production system in Malaysia. The current Assembly Services Sdn Bhd (ASSB) factory will be left to focus on the production of commercial vehicles, while the new plant takes on production of passenger cars, including Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs).
