JAKARTA Toyota Motor Corp. has confirmed that it will produce its newest battery-powered electric car (BEV) at the Aygo X and Yaris factories in the Czech Republic. This decision was followed by a significant investment of 680 million euros, which will be used to expand production facilities and increase factory capacity substantially.
Reporting from the Autocar report, Wednesday, September 3, this large investment will finance additional battery production lines, painting facilities, and new welding areas. The factory area will be increased from 152,000m2 to 173,000m2. According to Toyota, this expansion will increase the annual production capacity of factories from 220,000 units of vehicles, with most components for this new model to be supplied from within the Czech Republic.
Toyota has not confirmed the specific form of its latest BEV model. The company only mentions the production of “multi-paths,” hinting that this electric car may be using the same TNGA-B structure as Yaris, but is focused on the European market. However, it is also possible that this car will occupy a different market segment.
Previously, Andrea Carlucci, the boss of European Toyota’s products and marketing, stated that Yaris-like electric cars were not financially viable.
“We deliberately decided to start selling electric cars in the fastest growing segments [C, D, and E],” he said. This statement opens the speculation that a new BEV model in the Czech Republic could be a larger vehicle.
This development project is also supported by the Czech government with funding of 64 million euros. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala called this step very important for the future of his country’s automotive industry and will create 245 new jobs, strengthening the Czech position as one of the automotive manufacturing hubs in Europe.
