SAN ANTONIO, July 9 (Our Texas Times) — Toyota Motor North America, a unit of Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM), said it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus, add a second assembly line and move Tacoma production from Baja California, Mexico, to Texas over about four years.
The company said the project will add 2.5 million square feet to the site, create about 2,000 jobs and double the campus by 2030. Toyota said the expanded plant will eventually build the Tacoma alongside the Tundra, Sequoia and rear axles.
Toyota’s San Antonio campus already includes a vehicle assembly line, and a rear axle plant at the site is nearing startup. The company said rear axle production is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott praised the project 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.”
Toyota said the expansion will take place at its South Side manufacturing campus in San Antonio.
