Toyota Motor Corporation is shifting some manufacturing of its GR Corolla sports car from Japan to Britain, as announced on May 27, 2025. Production for the U.S. market will commence in Derbyshire, following a free trade deal between Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump.
This strategic relocation underscores Toyota's adaptability to evolving trade relations and its commitment to leveraging regional manufacturing advantages. The move is expected to boost British manufacturing and mitigate potential tariff impacts.
Concurrently, Toyota announced it will begin construction of its new Tokyo head office with Keikyu Corporation on May 31. Located near Shinagawa Station, this new facility is designed to serve as a central base for the company's full transformation into a mobility company.
