The factory in St. Petersburg currently produces about 20,000 Camrys a year on a single shift. Its workforce will rise to about 1,750 when two-shift operations begin, Japan’s top automaker said in a statement.

The factory has a production capacity of 50,000 vehicles a year.

Toyota said it would also add stamping and resin-molding processes at the factory in 2014 to promote further localisation in Russia.
