Production of the Toyota Yaris in France started last week for export to the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. It's actually the first-ever Europe-built Toyota model exported to North America.
The assembly plant is located in Onnaing, near Valenciennes.
“With Quebec accounting for 65% of Yaris’ Canadian sales, a warm welcome will be assured for this ‘Made-in-France’ vehicle,” said Seiji Ichii, President and CEO of Toyota Canada Inc.
As a result, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) will now export its vehicles to more than 40 countries around the world, including South Africa, Egypt, Canada and the U.S.
