Toyota has reasserted its commitment to car production in the UK after reports suggested it had threatened to withdraw due to the government’s plans to speed up the transition to EVs.
The Japanese car maker has reaffirmed that it has a “clear roadmap” for achieving zero-emissions vehicles as the Department for Transport (DtF) prepares to introduce targets that require a higher percentage of new-car sales to be zero-emissions each year from 2024.

Well Toyota closed their manufacturing plant in Australia at the same time that Ford & General Motors pulled the plug on their operations,now that the UK is out of the EU and there's no quota restrictions or import taxes on Japanese cars coming here why would they stay? it would be two less plants to retool and the political reason for keeping the plants has gone,why would they stay
