Toyota to Build Hybrid Corolla in Thailand

Toyota in Thailand is planning on building a hybrid Corolla, just don't expect it to be soon.  With Toyota planning on producing a hybrid Auris in England, it's not too surprising to see Toyota to continue to expand their production of hybrids into other countries.

Toyota has said for the past few years they want to create hybrid versions of their line-up over the next 10-20 years.  And they've been slowly expanding their production of hybrid vehicles into other countries.  The Prius is build in Japan, but Toyota had plans of moving production to Tennessee before the recession hit.  And Toyota Thailand builds the Camry Hybrid.

The Corolla hybrid will likely get existing hybrid motors design, rather than attempting to build a new generation hybrid system.
