Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s biggest carmaker, may move production of some cars to Thailand, reducing its reliance on Japanese factories.
“We are starting consulting with Toyota Motor Japan, but things are not finalized yet,” about moving some production to Thailand, Kyoichi Tanada, president of Toyota Motor Thailand Co., said in an interview in Bangkok. He declined to say which models are being considered and said a final decision may take as long as two years.
