Toyota Motor already announced plans to invest about $ 13 billion in the United States over the five years from 2017 to 2009, and this investment is part of that plan. It increases from $ 600 million announced in 2017 to $ 1.3 billion, adoption of local employment has also increased from the initial plan of 400. Toyota Motor will introduce Toyota’s design and production method “TNGA,” which shares the chassis and parts of multiple models with Hilander, to strengthen its capacity to increase production.
