There may be signs that Toyota is in it for the long haul with their recent fast-tracking of carbon neutrality plans for Sta. Rosa and CARS Program obligations but a business is a business; if you lose money, you would want to cut your losses ASAP. The timing of the Vios and Innova redesigns is so eerily close that if TMP wants to close the plant, they now have the perfect opportunity to do so. <br /><br />Toyota is probably the only manufacturer that can justify local production (Mitsubishi is only keeping the plant for legacy purposes they are not producing anywhere near Toyota's volume) yet I still have that feeling that the plant will shut down anytime soon. I have said in the past that the new Vios will be produced here and I still maintain that (35k sales a year says it all) but let's face it, the PH manufacturing industry is dead forever; it is just dying a slow death. The inevitable will happen but right now I am hoping that it isn't happening as soon as next year.ali.paguia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/06522754934236243296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-48030598557266992182022-11-07T18:33:56.761+08:002022-11-07T18:33:56.761+08:00Oh no.

Is our Santa Rosa Laguna plant ready for local hybrid Innova (and possibly, Vios) production, or, production of local-spec Innova and Vios will cease and TMP switch to importing these models, moving forward?<br /><br />TMP is mum on this but if they ever stop locally producing Innovas and Vios vehicles here with those new release models, I won't be shocked anyway. (In fact, I am expecting it, given the closure of Honda and Nissan, and in even more previous years, Ford and Isuzu, production plants.)Azazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267010556001943653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-5210366330788382282022-11-07T17:33:56.759+08:002022-11-07T17:33:56.759+08:00Bye bye diesel, seriously?
