Toyota USA commences the production of all-new 2014 Corolla

The production of the all-new 2014 Corolla has begun at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi, Inc. and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, INC. The start of production for the redesigned 2014 Tundra also began this week at Toyota's Texas plant. With nearly 40 million units sold, the Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate in the world, and this year marks its 47th year on the market. The 2014 Corolla will be available for sale in September.

The company's Mississippi manufacturing unit started producing Corolla in November 2011 further advancing the company's efforts to design, develop and build vehicles where they are sold. TMMMS has the annual capacity to produce 160,000 vehicles and employs nearly 2,000. Corolla engines are built in Buffalo, W. Va., engine plant. Cylinder heads and blocks for those engines are produced at both of Toyota’s Bodine Aluminum castings plants, located in Troy, Mo., and Jackson, Tenn.

The Mississippi plant will mark the start of production with a Team Mississippi Appreciation Day for team members, supplier team members and their families on September 7 at the BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, Miss.
