Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is investing in Woodstock once again. 80-million dollars was announced today to rev up production of the RAV4. The move with create some 400 new jobs at the local assembly plant. They are planning on increasing the production to 200-thousand vehicles per year, starting next year. That's a 25% increase. Toyota Official Greig Mordue on what has to be changed at the plant. "We have a number of capital investments to make. Primarily they're in the weld shop and in the paint shop. Most of our spending in the assembly area will be in process equipment and process improvement, so that's where most of our spending will be." Last year, the company announced plans for the first Toyota electric vehicle to be built in North America, but the majority of the new production will be for the internal combustion RAV4. When asked what Toyota is looking for in new workers, Mordue only said interested applicants should start here, and that Toyota has a "rigorous" recruitment process.
