The shutdown caused long waiting lists for popular locally-produced models such as the Corolla Cross, Corolla Quest, Fortuner, Hilux and Hiace, but Andrew Kirby, president and CEO of Toyota SA Motors , expects the factory to be fully operational again by September. About 50% of the Prospecton plant’s production is exported to 74 countries, including all of Western Europe, the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa and Central America.
