Toyota Motor Kyushu (Miyawaka City) revealed the volume of hybrid vehicle (HV) parts manufactured annually rose from 225,000 to 470,000. A major reason for the increase is demand for car parts for new Lexus models and the North American version of Toyota’s popular multipurpose sports utility vehicle RAV4. The company also increased the production line at their factory in Kokura, Kitakyushu City last October. Source: Nikkei Shimbun, 4/4/2019
