The new line was built within an existing manufacturing complex located in Guangzhou in China’s Guangdong province, operated by the Japanese automaker’s local joint venture company Guangzhou Toyota Motor Company Ltd (GTMC).
GTMC was established in 2004 as a joint venture between Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC Group) and Toyota Motor, with each company owning a 50% stake.
The new production line covers an area of 740,000 sq m and has a production capacity of 200,000 vehicles per year, increasing GTMC’s overall capacity to more than one million vehicles per year. As a result GTMC became the largest vehicle manufacturing company within the Toyota Motor group in terms of production capacity.
Earlier reports suggest GMTC’s sales in China rose by 31% to 845,608 units in the first ten months of 2022.
