Toyota’s 3 Thailand Plants: Which Models Are Built Where?

Toyota Motor Thailand operates three assembly plants across two provinces.

Plant	Location	Stated Annual Capacity	Key Models Reported
Samrong	Samut Prakan	240,000 units	Hilux Revo, Hilux Champ
Gateway	Chachoengsao	300,000 units	Yaris Ativ, Yaris Hatchback, Yaris Cross, Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross, Camry
Ban Pho	Chachoengsao	230,000 units	Hilux Revo, Hilux Travo, Hilux Travo-e, Fortuner, Land Cruiser FJ

Toyota Motor Thailand’s company information gives the capacity figures, and they add up to a combined stated capacity of 770,000 units per year. These are stated annual production capacities, not actual production and not an estimate of vehicles lost during the October production adjustment.

Which Toyota Hybrids and EVs Could Be Caught in the Production Pause?

Toyota has not published a model-by-model list of vehicles affected by the production adjustment. A model being produced at one of the affected plants does not by itself confirm a production or delivery delay.

The examples below are models built at the three plants and sold with hybrid or electric powertrains in Thailand. Their production could potentially be exposed to the pause.

Gateway plant: hybrid models

• Yaris Ativ HEV: The hybrid version launched in Thailand on 21 August 2025. The Yaris Ativ is among the models built at Gateway.
• Yaris Cross HEV: Toyota Thailand sells the Yaris Cross in hybrid grades. The Yaris Cross is also among Gateway’s models.
• Corolla Cross and Corolla Altis: Hybrid versions of both are sold in Thailand. Both are built at Gateway, but the available information does not say which grades are produced there.

Ban Pho plant: electric pickup

• Hilux Travo-e: It is reported as being built at Ban Pho, so its production could potentially be exposed to the temporary plant suspension. Toyota has not confirmed a model-specific production or delivery delay.

Could Toyota Thailand Deliveries Be Delayed by the Floods?

Some customer deliveries could be affected, but Toyota has not announced a blanket delay. If a customer’s vehicle delivery is affected, Toyota says it will coordinate with dealers to promptly inform the customer of the confirmed new delivery date.

Toyota also said it recognises the importance of delivering vehicles on schedule and is working to minimise the impact on customers.

Will the Flood-Related Shutdown Affect Toyota’s Quality Standards?

Toyota says the production adjustment will not compromise its quality standards. The company said it will keep following strict procedures for parts inspection, vehicle assembly control and quality checks at every stage. The aim is for customers to receive vehicles that meet Toyota’s quality and safety standards.

What Happens Next at Toyota’s Thailand Plants?

• Toyota continues monitoring conditions.
• Toyota is coordinating with parts suppliers.
• Restoring parts deliveries is a key requirement for resuming production.
• Production and transportation plans are being adjusted.
• Toyota will communicate the resumption date once confirmed.
• The 5–10 October period may change depending on conditions.
