US EditionToyota to move some GR Corolla production to Britain: Reuters
- Toyota intends to transfer part of the manufacturing for its GR Corolla to the Burnaston facility in Derbyshire, UK, with production expected to begin around mid-2026.
- This decision follows capacity limits at Toyota's Motomachi plant in Japan and aims to use excess capacity at Burnaston to reduce car delivery wait times.
- Toyota is set to invest approximately £41 million to create a specialized production facility at its Burnaston plant for manufacturing GR Corolla vehicles intended for export to the North American market.
- Toyota stated it is always seeking ways to optimise production and will temporarily dispatch engineers from Japan to Burnaston to share technology and expertise.
- The move is not a reaction to the recent US tariff cut on British car imports, but it could help Toyota avoid the higher 25% tariffs applied to cars made in Japan.
