Toyota Texas is getting into the axle business.⁠
⁠
The automaker has begun construction of a $531 million rear axle assembly plant at its South Side plant to bring in-house the production of the drivetrain component that will be used in the Sequoia SUVs and Tundra pickups it builds in San Antonio. It will also ship the assemblies to Mexico for use in Toyota’s Tacoma truck line. ⁠
⁠
The operation is bringing to San Antonio work that’s currently done by a supplier in the Midwest, said Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas President Susann Kazunas.⁠
⁠
The axle plant will add more than 400 jobs, bringing total employment at the plant to more than 4,000 people.⁠
