Toyota Motor plans to invest approximately 1 trillion yen ($6.4 billion) annually beginning in 2028 to modernize its manufacturing facilities.
The investment targets advanced automation and robotics for Toyota, its group companies, and major suppliers.
This strategic initiative addresses industry-wide challenges including aging infrastructure and persistent labor shortages.
The company intends to deploy roughly 400,000 new and replacement robots, including both humanoid and industrial models.
Analysts suggest this robotics expansion could create new revenue streams beyond traditional vehicle manufacturing.
