Toyota Motor North America will invest $3.6 billion to install a second assembly line at its San Antonio, Tex., manufacturing plant. The new line will assemble Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup trucks at a rate of 150,000 units annually, and the project will result in 2,000 new jobs there by 2030, according to the automaker.

The expansion at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas will lead to Toyota transferring Tacoma production there from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Baja California, in Mexico.

Presently the San Antonio plant assembles Toyota Tundra full-size pickups and Sequoia full-size SUVs, with a total output of 197,506 vehicles in 2025. The new assembly line is projected to produce 150,000 more units annually.

The plant also has stamping, body welding, and painting operations, and it will begin manufacturing rear axles later this fall.

Toyota’s announcement adds more detail to the 10-year, $10-billion capital-investment program it announced last November, which also involves expansions and improvements at assembly plants in Kentucky and Indiana.

Toyota Texas employs more than 3,700 currently. The plant opened in 2006, and Toyota claims its cumulative capital investment there is $8.3 billion since 2003.

Construction will start this year, and full operation of the new line will begin in 2030.

The expansion is supported by more than $300 million in state and local incentives, including job creation credits, sales tax refunds, property tax relief, roads and infrastructure, utility subsidies, and worker training grants and fee waivers.

“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,” stated TMNA president and CEO Ted Ogawa.
