During a groundbreaking ceremony for Toyota Mississippi&#8217;s new visitor and training center, the company announced it would invest <span class=\"xn-money\">$170 million<\/span> to build the 12th generation Corolla using Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). <\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpg34b4left\" style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg34b4left\" title=\"Sean Suggs, president of Toyota Mississippi, spoke at the plant's ground breaking ceremony for the new visitor center and announcement of a $170 million investment to build the 12th generation Corolla using the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sean Suggs, president of Toyota Mississippi, spoke at the plant's ground breaking ceremony for the new visitor center and announcement of a $170 million investment to build the 12th generation Corolla using the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/682235\/Toyota_Mississippi.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p>The TNGA investment enables the assembly plant to stay competitive globally. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will be able to respond quicker and be more flexible in order to meet market demands down the road,&#8221; said Toyota Mississippi President <span class=\"xn-person\">Sean Suggs<\/span>. &#8220;I&#8217;m very proud of our team members and the partnerships we have developed across the state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Implementation of TNGA, along with an overall increase in production, will create 400 new jobs over the next 12 months. This investment directly supports Toyota&#8217;s plan to invest <span class=\"xn-money\">$10 billion<\/span> in its U.S. facilities over the next five years. This investment brings the company to <span class=\"xn-money\">$4.27 billion<\/span> of new investment in the U.S. since the commitment was announced in 2017.

While retaining traditional Toyota values, such as exceptional quality and safety, TNGA improves performance of all models, including providing more responsive handling and a more comfortable, enjoyable feel while driving. It also shortens the development cycle for vehicle improvements and new vehicles by providing a more flexible production environment.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s announcement is another economic development win for the state of <span class=\"xn-location\">Mississippi<\/span>. It brings Toyota&#8217;s investment in this facility to more than <span class=\"xn-money\">$1 billion<\/span> since 2007.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For more than a decade, Toyota has been a valued corporate partner to <span class=\"xn-location\">Blue Springs<\/span> and the state of <span class=\"xn-location\">Mississippi<\/span>,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-location\">Mississippi<\/span> Governor <span class=\"xn-person\">Phil Bryant<\/span>. &#8220;Toyota&#8217;s commitment to building a sense of community is illustrated by the company&#8217;s continued investment in its operations and philanthropic efforts throughout the region.
