{Georgetown, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear announced Tuesday that Toyota will increase its engine assembly capacity at its Georgetown plant, beginning in August 2013. The $30 million project will increase the annual assembly capacity of four-cylinder engines by more than 100,000. The latest investment will increase engine production at the Kentucky plant to more than 500,000 annually. Workers at the Georgetown plant currently assemble engines for the Avalon, Camry and Venza. The increased capacity will supply engines for Camry and Camry Hybrids built at Georgetown and for RAV4 vehicles made in Canada. It also will raise total employment at Toyota's Georgetown operations to about 6,700 and total plant investment to nearly $6 billion.
