Toyota Motor Corp. plans to add 10 electrified vehicles to its China lineup by 2020.
The Corolla and Levin plug-in hybrids will be followed in 2020 by a pair of all-electric models based on Toyota’s twin C-HR and Izoa compact crossover vehicles. Toyota sells conventionally powered versions of the vehicles through its joint ventures with Guangzhou Automobile Group (the C-HR) and FAW Group (Izoa).
To support the new models, Toyota says it will increase annual production of nickel-metal hydride battery modules at two existing Chinese factories to 220,000 units by 2020. The company also plans to open a local battery testing facility by that time.
