Government Support For A Locally Built Hybrid Camry

Government Support for a Locally Built Hybrid Camry

Toyota Australia wishes to clarify a report attributed to a Toyota Australia executive on the front page of The Australian newspaper on Wednesday, 11 June.

Toyota Australia has always been open about its desire to build a hybrid Camry.

The Governments' critical support and strong desire to introduce new environmentally friendly technology and promote increased innovation within the Australian automotive industry enabled Toyota Australia to develop a case for a locally built hybrid Camry.

Toyota's decision to build a hybrid Camry in Australia was based on various business considerations; however the Government's support was a critical factor in securing local production.

Toyota looks forward to working in collaboration with the Australian and Victorian Governments to continue to develop a strong and sustainable Australian automotive industry.
