Last year, Toyota’s 14 manufacturing facilities in North America built 1,857,695, a 5 percent increase over 2012 and 1,715,709 engines, 3 percent more.

“Production is a direct reflection of a growing market and our focus on building cars and trucks that exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Osamu “Simon” Nagata, president and CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering North America, Inc. “As we look at 2014 and beyond we’ll continue to deliver products with the highest safety, quality, design and value.”
