Toyota Files to Build $2 Billion Assembly Line in Texas
The project would add a new assembly line and 2,000 jobs as Toyota expands U.S. production amid tariffs and shifting demand.
- On Thursday, Toyota Motor Corp. filed plans for a $2 billion expansion of its San Antonio manufacturing facility, creating 2,000 jobs through the project dubbed "Project Orca."
- This expansion aligns with Toyota's strategy to navigate potential U.S. tariff regimes and shifting consumer demand, following the automaker's prior $10 billion pledge in response to 15% tariffs on Japanese imports.
- Construction will begin this year, with completion slated for 2029 and operations starting in 2030; the filing sets a wage requirement of $88,583 annually for new positions.
- Industry analysts suggest the expansion could signal a return of Tacoma production to the Alamo City, with Cox Automotive analyst Erin Keating noting "I'd say there's a solid 50-50 shot that it's the Tacoma."
- Toyota maintains a "production philosophy is to build where we sell and buy where we build," while the project will average more than 600 construction jobs yearly through 2030.
