Toyota Motor Corporation today celebrated the completion of a number of new R&D facilities at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing in the Changshu New and Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone.
The new facilities will play a big role in Toyota’s ongoing efforts to localize production in China and includes a vehicle test course, technology testing facilities as well as the Energy Saving and New Energy Vehicle Technical Center.

Special guests from the provincial and municipal governments have attended the ceremony as well as Japanese ambassador to China Masato Kitera and representatives from local joint ventures FAW Group Corporation and Guangzhou Automobile Group, executive vice presidents Mitsuhisa Kato and Yasumori Ihara.

"Our goal is to continue to exceed the expectations of Chinese consumers. This means listening to what they say and making no compromises in creating the best cars possible. I believe TMEC will play a vital role in this regard." said Matsuhisa Kato during the ceremony, while TMC senior managing officer and TMEC president Tadashi Yamashina said that “this is just the beginning” of the process of making vehicles according to the needs of Chinese consumers.
