Toyota and Mazda Choose Alabama for $1.6 Billion Car Plant
“I have no doubt the Toyota-Mazda manufacturing facility will take Huntsville to new heights.”
The new Alabama plant is part of an initiative by Toyota to invest $10 billion in the United States over the next five years.
When the companies announced in August that they would cooperate on a new plant in the United States, the news was hailed
by President Trump, who has called on auto manufacturers to produce more vehicles here in hopes of creating jobs.
Toyota’s chief executive, Akio Toyoda, said he was confident the plant would be a “built-in-America success story.”
Huntsville is home to a number of aerospace manufacturers and has a highly educated work force.
Toyota Motor and Mazda Motor announced on Wednesday that they have chosen Huntsville, Ala., for a $1.6 billion car plant.
The new plant will be Toyota’s fifth in the United States, joining assembly factories in Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi and Texas.
