Toyota announces new Ontario parts plant


A division of Japanese auto giant Toyota will build a new auto parts facility in Canada's Ontario province, officials announced Monday.

The new plant will supply seats, door trim and carpet for some 150,000 Toyota RAV4 sport utility vehicles to be built in Woodstock, Ontario each year, company president Shuhei Toyoda said in a statement.

Japan's Toyota Motor Corp., which surpassed US-based General Motors as the dominant car manufacturer in Canada earlier this year, said it would open a new assembly plant in Woodstock to build the RAV4 in 2008.
