San Antonio (Bexar County) — Toyota has announced it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus with a second vehicle assembly line to support the Tacoma truck. The expansion will create 2,000 new, high-quality jobs and add 2.5 million square feet to the facility, doubling its size by 2030.
Toyota will transition Tacoma production from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California (TMMBC) to the expanded Toyota Texas plant over an approximate four-year period.
“Toyota’s continued investment in North America is a testament to our confidence in the region’s workforce, innovation and long-term growth potential,” said Toyota President and CEO Ted Ogawa. “By expanding our San Antonio plant, we are deepening our commitment to American manufacturing, creating meaningful and sustainable jobs, while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers today and into the future.”
After a highly competitive process, this expansion highlights Toyota’s commitment to Texas as a vital hub for automotive innovation and manufacturing excellence.
Supported by the Texas Enterprise Fund and JETI program, this expansion will deliver economic opportunities to generations of San Antonio families and further cement Texas as the premier destination for world-class advanced manufacturing, according to Gov. Gregg Abbott.
This latest investment will add another assembly line to the campus at Toyota Texas, which already includes a vehicle assembly line and a new rear axle plant that is nearing startup.
In May, VBX reported that Toyota was moving forward with a proposed $2 billion expansion of its South Side manufacturing campus, setting the stage for one of the region’s largest industrial construction projects in recent years. The project, disclosed through filings with the Texas Comptroller, outlined a significant buildout of new production capacity adjacent to the company’s existing truck assembly plant.
Infrastructure preparation is anticipated to begin around September and is also expected to generate up to 2,000 jobs across both construction and long-term operations, further strengthening the region’s role as a key hub in Toyota’s North American manufacturing network.
“We are so proud of Team Texas and what they have accomplished over the past two decades,” said Frank Voss, group vice president of truck manufacturing, TMNA and president of Toyota Texas. “The 2,000 acres of South Texas ranchland our plant stands on today was purposefully selected for its ability to scale with vehicle demand, and today marks the first step toward realizing that potential. We’re excited to add the beloved Tacoma to our existing award-winning lineup, and we thank the State of Texas, Bexar County and City of San Antonio for their longstanding support.”
This expansion brings Toyota’s total investment in San Antonio to $8.3 billion since breaking ground in 2003. The new facility will provide greater flexibility for the plant through advanced manufacturing technologies and align with Toyota’s broader North American operations. Toyota remains committed to its operations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and encourages a quick resolution to and encourages a quick resolution of the USMCA to make the North American region globally competitive.
