Kentucky Toyota branch started exports to Russia and Ukraine from the US Kentucky manufacturing Plant.<\/p>\n
Toyota intends to export 5,000 Venza crossover SUV\u2019s from Kentucky in the first year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s growing market demand for crossover-style vehicles in these countries and Venza gives us an opportunity to fulfill that need\u201d, said a spokesperson about the East Europe Market.<\/p>\n
The Russia Federation became a WTO member in 2012 and the imported car tariffs were dropped immediately.<\/p>\n
However, the Russian government told that it will introduce a new vehicle tax, which the carmakers importers have to pay up-front and it equivalent to 5% of the sales price of the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cVenza was launched in the US several years ago and some engineering changes needed to be made to support the unique requirements of the Russia and Ukrainian markets\u201d.<\/p>\n
“We are proud that Toyota’s U.S. manufacturing operations are continuing to grow as a key supplier of vehicles for global markets, which is only possible thanks to the dedication and high-quality work of our team members here,” said Shigeki Terashi, president and COO of Toyota Motor North America, Inc.<\/p>\n
“We expect the export of Venza vehicles to Russia and Ukraine will help further solidify our U.S. manufacturing base.” he added.<\/p>\n
This automotive growth in Russia and Ukraine intends to increase to a further 10 million models by 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
