The introduction of C-HR will increase annual production capacity at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey to 280,000 vehicles, including the established Corolla and Verso models built there. Toyota has invested around €350 million (approx. £312.5 million) in the plant for the new model, taking total investment in TMMT to €1.7 billion (approx. £1.5 billion) since the start of operations in 1994. The workforce has been increased by an additional 2,000 people to accommodate C-HR.
Speaking at the line-off ceremony today at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Turkey's Sakarya factory, Dr Johan van Zyl, President and CEO Toyota Motor Europe, said: "The Toyota C-HR is a hugely important product for the whole of Toyota. The crossover segment is growing fast and this is our very strong entry into the segment."
