Toyota Motor North America announced Monday a $3.6 billion investment to expand its San Antonio manufacturing plant, creating 2,000 new jobs and shifting production of the popular Tacoma pickup truck from Mexico to Texas.
The expansion will add 2.5 million square feet to the facility on the city’s South Side, doubling its size by 2030 and enabling a second vehicle assembly line. The plant currently produces the Tundra and Sequoia trucks. Tacoma assembly will move from Toyota’s plant in Tijuana, Mexico, over the next four years.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office confirmed the project includes state incentives, including a $20 million Texas Enterprise Fund grant and a $50,000 Veteran Created Job Bonus. The expansion qualifies under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation program. The announcement comes as part of broader efforts to boost U.S. manufacturing.
