According to the Japan Times, Toyota will be building up their hybrid capacity at their new plant in Miyagi Prefecture. The new plant is set to begin operations in 2011.
The Vitz-class subcompact hybrid model will be made there and begin selling in 2011 for around 1.5 million yen. The Japan Times says the new subcompact hybrid will get 40 km a liter, which is better than the Prius.
Panasonic will be producing the battery packs by setting up a new plant of their own in Taiwa, Miyagi Prefecture.
