Toyota Technical Center celebrated the grand opening of a new $187 million engineering and safety testing facility in the York Township, MI. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and U.S. Congressman John Dingell were among the several hundred people who attended the opening of the facility.

TTC, a division of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America (TEMA), already has a site in Ann Arbor, MI. With the expansion in York Township, TTC is adding 400 new jobs (of which, 300 have already been filled) and will boost its employment to 1,100 by 2010.

“Continued commitment and investments by Toyota are important as we maintain our efforts to diversify our economy and create jobs here in Michigan,” Governor Granholm said. “The Toyota Technical Center is a huge win for Michigan and our workers – our reputation as the automotive capital of the world brought Toyota here, and we will continue to attract R&D and advanced manufacturing jobs because of our global leadership in automotive research and development.”

Toyota established Toyota Technical Center (TTC) in 1977 in Ann Arbor, MI. TTC is engaged in engineering design, prototype building, vehicle evaluation and engineering, materials engineering, powertrain tuning and design, regulatory affairs and advanced technical research.

TTC has developed the Avalon, Sienna, Solara, Tundra and Venza vehicles for the North American market.
