Toyota Motor Corporation has announced plans to establish its first independently operated plant in Shanghai, China, dedicated to the production of luxury Lexus electric vehicles (EVs). This strategic move aims to enhance Toyota's control over its operations in the world's largest automotive market. The decision comes as Lexus sales in China have increased by 3% year-over-year, contrasting with ongoing challenges faced by other Japanese automakers.
