Emissions control technologies provider, Faurecia, has recently inaugurated its new plant in Bidadi near Bangalore. The plant, which went on stream in September 2012, has been set up especially to manufacture hot end, cold end and instrument panel reinforcement tubes for Toyota India. Faurecia is the supplier of emissions control solutions for Toyota vehicles Etios, Liva, Innova, Fortuner and Corolla assembled in India.
Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies (FECT) in Bangalore started production for Toyota in March 2004. The new plant is situated less than 5 km from Toyota’s assembly plant. The plant is dimensioned to deliver over 400 car sets a day for Toyota Plant-1 (Innova, Fortuner) and close to 700 car sets a day for Toyota Plant -2 (Etios, Liva, Corolla). According to Faurecia, the new facility near Toyota helps to significantly improve the response time in supply-chain as well as supports the growing demand from Toyota.
Speaking on the occasion, Hiroshi Nakagawa, Managing Director of Toyota Kirloskar Motors said, “We now consider Faurecia as an associated member of the Toyota family and appreciate their efforts in helping Toyota achieve great success in the Indian automotive market.”
