History
Following the T?hoku earthquake, the President of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, announced a reorganisation of the operations for the area, naming it the third production centre after Chubu and Kyushu. On 1 July 2012 Toyota Motors Tohoku, Kanto Auto Works and Central Motors were merged to form Toyota Motor East Japan. The new company focussed on developing and manufacturing compact cars, engines and other components. In November 2015, Toyota started to move the production of the Vitz from Toyota Industries to Toyota Motor East Japan sites with the aim of consolidating compact/subcompact car assembly in the Northeast and reducing costs. The move would be completed by 2019. Toyota Motor East Japan also began manufacturing the second generation Sienta during 2015, replacing Daihatsu as the assembler of that model for Japan.
