Toyota begins production in Myanmar after coup delay

TOKYO, Oct 15 2022 (AFP):Toyota has announced that it has started operations at its first plant in Myanmar, a project suspended since February 2021 for reasons including "political change" brought by the coup.

The world's top-selling automaker said production began last month at the new factory outside Yangon, which was originally supposed to produce 2,500 Hilux pick-up trucks each year.
