Toyota Motor Corp is looking to end production at a joint venture factory in California that it had held with General Motors in March 2010, Japan’s Asahi Shimbun reported on its website, Reuters said.
Toyota, the world’s top automaker, has said it would decide by the end of this month whether to pull out of the 25-year-old plant, commonly known by its acronym NUMMI for New United Motor Manufacturing Inc, after General Motors left it in bankruptcy with Motors Liquidation Co., the news service said. Toyota has started to inform its main suppliers about the plans, the Asahi said.
According to Reuters, a Toyota spokesman said the company has reached no official decision yet. The paper cited a source as saying Toyota would transfer production of the Tacoma pickup truck to its light trucks factory in San Antonio, Texas, in June. It will move output of the Corolla sedan to its factory in Ontario, Canada, and a factory in Japan, story said. (Reuters)
