Toyota has announced plans to introduce a new small petrol engine at its plant in Deeside, North Wales.
The Deeside engine plant currently produces fully-assembled petrol engines for Toyota’s vehicle manufacturing plant at Burnaston, Derbyshire where the Auris and Avensis models are produced. The plant also undertakes casting and machining of engine sets for export to Toyota plants in countries across the world - including Venezuela, Brazil, Turkey, France, South Africa and Japan – for local assembly. Toyota in the UK produces Auris and Avensis models at Burnaston, Derbyshire, and petrol engines at Deeside, North Wales.
In 2007, Toyota produced 277,854 vehicles, 185,736 fully assembled engines and 159,230 engine sets for export and local assembly at plants across the world. |
