Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia is a Toyota Motor Corporation factory in Buffalo, West Virginia. It is estimated to date, the company has spent nearly US$1 billion to build the automobile engine and transmission plant. The plant solely builds engines and transmissions; no vehicles are produced at this facility.
In February 2021, Toyota Motor Corp announced it would invest $210 million to expand engine production in West Virginia and add 100 new jobs.
