However, the construction of a new plant is subject to permission from the Chinese government.
The Japanese automaker already operates four factories in Tianjin, Changchun, Chengdu and Guangzhou, and has a total capacity of 920,000 vehicles a year.
Some analysts believe that the new plant could be a part of Toyota’s plan to introduce a new brand to focus on new energy vehicles in China.
