Toyota to Continue to Invest Big in Indonesia

Toyota will continue its major investment plan in Indonesia, particularly in manufacturing, up to Rp20 trillion by 2020.

PT Toyota Motors Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) deputy president director Warih Andang Tjahjono in Tokyo, Japan, said Sunday, August 28, 2016, that Toyota has made Rp10 trillion investment of its planned investment in Indonesia, as promised by Toyota Motor Corp (TMC) president director Akio Toyota.

“Major projects have been realized, the third plant has been completed,” he said.

Since 2013, he went on, Toyota’s production capacity in Indonesia continues to increase, from 110,000 units to currently 25,000 units per day.

According to Warih, the total TMC investment in the past few years have reached roughly Rp10 trillion, in which the biggest investment had been made to develop the production capacity of Kijang Innova and Fortuner at approximately Rp5 trillion, followed by the production of Sienta at around Rp2.5 trillion, and NR engine production with an investment value of roughly Rp2.3 trillion.

“Investment will continue, although it would not be as big as the current investment,” Warih said.
