It will spend about JPY17bn on the capacity increase and updating existing production facilities.
TASA is a supply base for Toyota’s IMV series of ’emerging market’ vehicles produced for export throughout Latin America.
In 2012, TASA exported 63,000 vehicles – about 70% of production – to Brazil and 14 other countries.
“TMC remains committed to activities that are regionally rooted and to contributing to the development of Argentina’s automobile industry and economy,” the automaker said.
