Toyota Australia to supply engines to ASEAN plants

Toyota Motor Corp. Australia Ltd. (TMCA) will produce a new-model gasoline engine at its Altona plant in Melbourne from around 2012 and supply it to Toyota manufacturing plants in ASEAN countries for use in the “Camry” and “Camry Hybrid” gasoline-electric hybrid cars. Adding Australia as a new supply base is meant to increase the efficiency and strength of Toyota’s production and supply structure in the Asia-Pacific region. (September 11, 2010)
