Erlanger, Ky. (Jan. 19, 2017) – In 2016, Toyota achieved another record year of North American vehicle production with 2,124,608 vehicles built at its North American vehicle assembly plants. Production volume was up 4.4 percent over the previous year total of 2,035,028 vehicles.

Toyota's total vehicle production in North America since 1986 has reached more than 30 million. Key drivers of this year's increased production include low fuel prices, continued stability in the overall economy and strong customer demand for trucks and SUVs.

'Every part and every vehicle that rolls off the line reflects our commitment to safety, quality, value, and, above all, our passion for exceeding customer expectations.'
