丰田汽车周一宣布,将把旗下中型塔科马皮卡的大部分产能从墨西哥转移至美国,作为其对德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥工厂36亿美元投资计划的一部分。这家日本汽车巨头表示,从墨西哥蒂华纳工厂转移产能的过程将耗时约四年。
就在本周早些时候,美国政府宣布不再续签与墨西哥及加拿大的北美贸易协定,给企业经营带来了不确定性,丰田此番宣布该计划正值此时。
丰田去年11月曾宣布,计划未来五年内在美国投资至多100亿美元。

这家全球汽车销量冠军企业在声明中表示,计划在圣安东尼奥工厂增设第二条总装生产线,创造超过2000个就业岗位,并将该工厂的年产能提升15万辆。
丰田表示:“此次投资旨在进一步强化丰田扎根本地、具备竞争力的生产体系。”
丰田仍将保留在墨西哥瓜纳华托工厂生产部分塔科马皮卡。
该公司圣安东尼奥工厂目前生产坦途SUV和红杉皮卡,并将于今年秋季按计划在德州厂区开设后桥组装工厂。
随着特朗普政府提高汽车、钢铁、铝及其他多项商品的关税,丰田及其他主流汽车制造商正将产能转移至美国。
包括美国本土车企在内的全球汽车制造商曾在墨西哥等多国大量生产汽车,以借助现有《美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定》(USMCA)等多项贸易协定的优惠政策。
丰田在周一公布该计划时表示:“丰田始终致力于在美、加、墨三地开展业务,并呼吁尽快解决USMCA相关问题,使北美地区在全球市场具备竞争力。”
尽管该协定仍将生效十年,但美国政府上周宣布将对该贸易协定进行年度审议,此举预计将对投资者情绪产生影响。
Toyota investing $3.6 billion in Texas plant, moving most Tacoma pickup production from Mexico

Toyota said Monday it will shift most production of its mid-size Tacoma pickup truck from Mexico to the United States as part of a $3.6 billion investment in its San Antonio, Texas, plant. The transition from Toyota’s Tijuana, Mexico, facility will take roughly four years, the Japanese auto giant said.
The announcement comes just days after Washington declined to renew a North American trade pact with Mexico, as well as Canada, fueling uncertainty for businesses.
Toyota said in November it planned to invest as much as $10 billion in the United States over the next five years.

The world’s largest automaker by vehicle sales, Toyota plans to build a second assembly line at its San Antonio factory, creating more than 2,000 jobs and increasing annual production capacity at the plant by 150,000 units, the company said in a statement.
“The investment is aimed at further enhancing Toyota’s locally rooted and competitive production system,” the company said.
Toyota will also keep building some Tacoma trucks at its Guanajuato, Mexico, plant.
It produces Tundra SUVs and Sequoia pickups at its San Antonio plant and is on track to open a rear axle assembly facility on its Texas campus this fall.
Toyota and other major automakers are shifting production to the United States as President Trump raises tariffs on automobiles, steel and aluminum, among other items.
Global automakers — including U.S. companies — produce many vehicles in Mexico, among other countries, to benefit from various trade deals including the existing US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Toyota remains committed to its operations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and encourages a quick resolution to USMCA to make the North American region globally competitive,” Toyota said as it announced its plans Monday.
Although that pact remains in force for another 10 years, Washington said last week that the trade agreement will now be reviewed annually, a move expected to impact investor sentiment.
