Toyota to establish new manufacturing plant in Eihuocho, Toyota City

MANILA: Toyota Motor Corporation has announced its plans to establish a new vehicle manufacturing plant in the Eihuocho area of Toyota City in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan. 

According to the company, operations at the upcoming plant are expected to begin in the early 2030s. However, it has not been determined which models are going to be produced at the new facility. Toyota also implied that it has yet to acquire the land that the new plant will stand on. 

The Japanese automotive conglomerate, however, has disclosed that all stakeholders, including Aichi Prefecture and its residents, are all on board in building the planned vehicle manufacturing facility. 

Additionally, Toyota shared that the said facility will be a “plant of the future.” It will employ advanced technologies to provide the best environment for a “diverse workforce.” 

It wasn’t stated outright, but the upcoming plant will likely follow the marque’s current in-Japan manufacturing plants' use of state-of-the-art measures to reduce carbon emissions and further eliminate waste.

One example shown by the brand’s factory information webpage is the Toyota Tahara Plant, which already achieved “Zero landfill waste” status back in August 2020. The Toyota Myochi Plant, meanwhile, was already recognized by the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry for its energy-saving efforts for its thermal processing furnace. 

On that note, we can expect that the future Toyota plant in Eihuocho, Toyota City, will be highly sustainable as well. 

Toyota manufacturing in PH

In the local setting, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) currently operates a manufacturing plant in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Officially, it is known as the Toyota Special Economic Zone 4026, and it currently produces the next-generation Toyota Tamaraw, Innova, and Vios. 

Like its Japanese counterparts, the Toyota plant in Laguna is at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing. In fact, it is planning to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 - a measure supported by numerous technologies and processes such as solar power, advanced waste management, upcycling, and many other decarbonization efforts. 

Specific methods for sustainability already fielded by TMP include the Laguna plant’s 100 percent dependence on renewable solar energy. It has also continued to endorse vehicle dismantler facilities for the proper disposal and recycling of end-of-life vehicles.
