As a result of an initial investment of R$ 580 million, the factory follows the same ecofactory concept used in the Sorocaba, SP unit. The principle consists of annually reducing the emission of waste, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and CO2 emissions, as well as maximizing the reuse of rainwater and preserving native forest areas. Through initiatives implemented at the plant, Porto Feliz has significantly reduced its impacts, earning global recognition as one of the cleanest engine plants in the Toyota Motor Company worldwide.
In 2018, Porto Feliz received a new investment of R$ 510 million for expansion and modernization of the facilities for production of the 2.0L Dynamic Force engine, mounted on the TNGA platform. After its upgrade, the plant became a landmark in Toyota’s Latin American operations, as it incorporates attributes from the company’s most modern, productive, and sustainable plants worldwide.
With a high level of automation, Porto Feliz became the first operation outside Asia to produce engines from the TNGA platform. In addition to the new platform, flex fuel and gasoline engines, Dual VVTi, 1.5L, are also produced for the Yaris and Etios models, both hatch and sedan.
With the ability to offer 100% Brazilian-made vehicles to the market, Toyota was able to develop its growth and expand its presence in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Ecuador, and other Latin American and Caribbean countries.
