Toyota Produced 10 Million Cars in Europe

Toyota has just produced its 10 millionth car in Europe. This milestone was achieved by 6 vehicle plants and 3 powertrain plants located in 7 countries: the UK, Turkiye, France, Poland, Russia, the Czech Republic and Portugal. Current production line-up includes the Auris, Auris Touring Sports, Yaris and their hybrid variants, Avensis, Corolla, Verso and Camry, to which two more vehicles will join in 2016: the RAV4 in Russia in August, and the Toyota C-HR in Turkiye  at the end of the year.
The memorial milestone was celebrated at Toyota’s European Headquarters in Brussels on April 14, where team members of each plant joined including 3 members from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkiye. The same Carina E as the first full-scale mass-production model in Europe was on the stage, alongside Toyota’s newest baby, the Toyota C-HR.

Johan van Zyl, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Europe, commented: “Toyota’s heartbeat is in manufacturing, and our thousands of European team members are very proud to have reached 10 million cars produced in Europe.”

Last year, Toyota produced 660,000 Toyota vehicles in Europe for sales of 810,000 Toyota and 64,000 Lexus on the continent. The share of locally produced Toyota vehicles sold in Europe is 71%. Around 24% of all vehicles sold by Toyota and Lexus in Europe are hybrids, the majority of which are built in Europe.
