The expansion of Toyota's production operations in Argentina began in 2002, when the company announced an investment planned to make Zárate Plant a production and export hub for multipurpose vehicles.

This was consolidated in March 2005 with the launch of the IMV (Innovative International Multipurpose Vehicle) project. With the success of the Hilux and the Fortuner, Toyota has revolutionized the regional market.

As part of the expansion of the IMV project, production numbers in 2005 went from 19,350 to 46,000 units. During 2006, production was further increased to 65,000 units annually. Then, through a new investment in 2012, the production capacity was increased to 92,000 units per year.

The latest project has significantly expanded the plant's size, adding 110,260 sq m of new buildings and 80,000 square meters of new logistic yards. Having witnessed impressive growth over the last twenty years―from the start of production in 1996, through to the development begun in 2002, and culminating with the current project initiated in 2013―Toyota Argentina has reached new heights.
