The news that all Brazilians were waiting for has finally arrived: Toyota announced a massive investment of R$11 billion in Brazil. The announcement was made by the Vice President of the Republic and Minister of Development, Geraldo Alckmin, who revealed the news on his social media. The investment, which will be made in the coming years, is a milestone for the Brazilian automotive sector and shows Toyota’s confidence in the country.
