Toyota Motor Corp. is considering erecting a new assembly plant in Tianjin, China, Kyodo News reports. The facility would boost Toyota's annual capacity in China to more than 1 million vehicles from 920,000 units now, the news service says.
Any new plant would require the approval of the Chinese government.
