Around 1,200 Toyota Alabama team members got a little “revved” up recently in order to celebrate the launch of the factory’s second V6 engine line, along with special guests like Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, US senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions.
“The launch of an additional V6 engine line and production of our three millionth engine are milestones that speak directly to the incredible 1,200 team members at Toyota Alabama,” said Jim Bolte, president of Toyota Alabama. “Our new V6 is particularly monumental because we are now the only Toyota engine plant in the world with four separate production lines.”
When the current $150 million machining project will be complete in July, Toyota Alabama’s investment is said to exceed $850 million. The plant is the only Toyota facility in the world to produce four-cylinder, V6 and V8 engines under one roof.
