ERLANGER, Ky. (January 20, 2012) – Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA) announced today North American vehicle production for 2011. TEMA built 1,255,635 vehicles and 1,141,466 engines.

“Despite a challenging year due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that caused limited parts availability, Toyota’s team members and supplying partners were able to ramp up production ahead of schedule,” stated Shigeki Terashi, president and COO of TEMA. “This kind of commitment and customer-first spirit will set the stage for growth over the course of the year.”

Toyota produces 12 models in North America: Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Matrix, RAV4, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra, Lexus RX350 and Venza.

In 2011, the following projects were completed:
