Toyota celebrates 3 millionth ZR engine rolling off Deeside production line
Toyota has celebrated making its 3 millionth ZR engine the Deeside Industrial Estate engine plant.
The carmaker said it was a “significant milestone which demonstrates the continued popularity and demand for their products.”

Tim Freeman, Plant Director said: “Everyone has played a part both in Production and support departments, to achieve this result. ZR continues to be a significant part of Toyota line up and delivers real carbon emissions reduction now.”
“Thank you and well done to everyone – you should be very proud of this achievement. ”
