SAN ANTONIO, July 9 (Our Texas Times) — Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) unit Toyota Motor North America said it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, add a second vehicle assembly line and move Tacoma pickup production from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California to Texas over about four years.
The project is expected to create 2,000 jobs and add 2.5 million square feet to the site, doubling the campus by 2030, according to Toyota’s Texas facility page. Toyota said the expanded plant will eventually build Tacoma alongside Tundra, Sequoia and rear axles.
Toyota said the San Antonio campus already has one vehicle assembly line and is preparing to start rear axle production in fall 2026. The company’s facility page says the new investment is tied to a second assembly line and a targeted opening date of 2030.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the plan in a quote included in Toyota’s announcement, saying, “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.”
