Toyota will spend $1.3 billion on a battery powered SUV line at its plant in Georgetown.
Last year, Toyota announced plans to build a battery powered electric SUV in Georgetown.
This money will support that work and will pay for an assembly line to build battery packs for a plant that has 9400 employees.
This ensures a bright future and steady employment for so many Kentucky families.
Toyota also helps us, along with our other manufacturers, to be an automotive leader.
And the fact that we're going to see EVs being produced at this plant, that battery pack assembly is going to go on at Toyota along with other battery plants we're building in other parts of the state.
It shows we are not just going to be an automotive leader, but we want to be the automotive leader.
Toyota hasn't given further details about the new SUV, including its price or when it would arrive in showrooms.
