WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. Tuesday said it will make Toyota Motors Corp.'s Camry model at a plant in Indiana.
Fuji, which makes Subaru vehicles, will produce 100,000 of the midsize sedans yearly at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant near Lafayette, beginning as early as 2007.
This will be Toyota's second major manufacturing facility in Indiana, the automaker currently manufactures vehicles at a plant in southwest Indiana in Princeton, said a spokesman in the office of Sen. Richard Luger, R-Ind.
"Toyota and Fuji Heavy Industries officials have met and plan to move forward on utilizing the Lafayette, Ind., ... facility to manufacture Toyota vehicles. While the plan is subject to further negotiations between the companies, as well as with the state of Indiana, this is good news and a testimony to Hoosier workers," said Lugar.
