Toyota boosted vehicle and engine productin in its North American plants to record levels in 2007, the company said today.
Toyota built 1,671,009 vehicles, an 8% increase, and 1,571,872 engines, a 10% increase. Gains are largely attributed to Tundra production ramp-up in Texas and Camry production in Indiana.
North American Toyota production began in 1984 and has grown steadily over the years.
Toyota's production has increased 39% over the last five years.
This year Toyota will build its 20 millionth vehicle in North America including the 5 millionth Corolla.
Toyota produces 11 models in North America: Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Sienna, Solara, Tacoma, Tundra and Lexus RX350 in North America.
Toyota is preparing to increase vehicle capacity to about 2.2 million units by 2010.
