Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Celebrates 10-Millionth Vehicle

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) celebrated the production of its 10-millionth vehicle with the Lexus NX 350h hybrid electric SUV coming off the line.

“Today’s milestone speaks to how far Toyota’s manufacturing operations in Canada have come over the past three decades,” said Frank Voss, president of TMMC. “In 1988, the year we opened our first plant in Cambridge, our team members built 153 Toyota Corollas and it took over 11 years to produce our first million vehicles. Today, we’re Canada’s largest automaker and leading maker of electrified vehicles, building half a million Toyota and Lexus vehicles for the North American market every year.”

Since 1988, TMMC has also grown to become one of Southwestern Ontario’s most important employers, with two production lines in Cambridge and a third line in Woodstock that, together, employ more than 8,500 people.

“Our world-class team members have been trusted to build some of the most popular vehicles in North America, and that’s something we’re very proud of,” Voss noted. “This year, we added the Lexus NX and Lexus NX Hybrid to our production lines, so it’s great to hit our 10 million milestone with a shiny red example of our newest electrified model.”
