Overview

  • Production resumed on July 29 under the plant’s established 24/7, three-shift schedule after an 11-business-day technical stop aligned with the winter school break.
  • The Zárate facility will run alternate Saturday overtime shifts through December to recover lost volume and keep pace with its annual production plan.
  • A US$60 million investment completed upgrades across press, welding, painting and assembly lines, including the installation of new industrial robots and collaborative co-bots.
  • The factory aims to build 175,000 Hilux and SW4 units in 2025, with roughly 80 percent destined for export to 22 Latin American markets.
  • Since 2023, Toyota’s three-shift, round-the-clock model and major modernization program have driven the plant to contribute over half of Argentina’s automotive exports and expand local employment.
