To support the increased production capacity, Toyota will enrol more skilled technicians from the Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI). Last year, the company expanded the intake capacity of the institute to accommodate 1,200 students. Toyota has a team of 6,000 members, including production and non-production staff.
The demand for some of Toyota’s models has resulted in an order backlog. The waiting period for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder varies between 7 and 20 months, depending on the variant.
As for the Innova Hycross, the waiting period is approximately 6 months. These waiting times indicate the popularity and demand for these models, prompting Toyota to increase production to meet customer needs.
