Irwan Priyantoko, General Manager External Affairs Division PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia, produsen mobil Toyota, mengatakan pasar domestik dan ekspor dipasok oleh Plant-I yang mulai beroperasi sejak 1998 dan kini kapastias produksinya mencapai 120.000 unit.
"Dengan beroperasinya Plant-I dan Plant-II maka total kapasitas produksi pabrik Toyota Karawang pada tahun depan menjadi 240.000 unit dan secara bertahap akan ditingkatkan menjadi 300.000 unit pada 2015 untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasar domestik dan ekspor," ujarnya belum lama ini.
Total produksi tersebut, menurutnya, telah melampaui targetnya secara konservatif yang ditetapkan awal 2012 sebanyak 60.000 unit dan juga berada di atas realisasi produksi selama setahun yang lalu sebanyak 114.485 unit, yang terdiri dari Innova 67.488 unit dan Fortuner 38.314 unit.

Jakarta (B2B) - PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia plans to build Plant-II with an Rp5 trillion investment to improve the plant's production capacity to 300,000 units in Karawang in 2015.
Irwan Priyantoko, General Manager External Affairs Division of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia, said the domestic and export market is supplied by Plant-I, which started operating since 1998 and now the capacity production reached 120,000 units.
"With the effective operation of both plants, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia will raise the total production capacity of the Toyota plant in Karawang next year to 240,000 units and will gradually increase to 300,000 units in 2015 to meet demands from domestic and the export market," he said recently.
According to him, now Plant -I of Toyota Karawang produce Innova and Fortuner as much as 129,720 units during the period of January to October 2012, of which Innova for 79,042 units and Fortuner about 50,678 units.
He expressed optimism over the demand from the domestic market which is still promising for Innova and Fortuner because its market share is relatively less sensitive to an increase of the maximum down payment in Islamic-based finance and is controlling consumption of subsidized fuel.
