Toyota Motor says it will start making electric vehicles in Southeast Asia this year for the first time. The move to begin production of the vehicles at its plant in Indonesia comes as the region's EV market heats up.



Toyota said on Wednesday that it plans to make electric SUVs at its plant in a suburb of Jakarta starting in December.



The Japanese automaker's strategy has focused on providing a range of vehicle types including EVs, hybrids and plug-ins.



Its decision to build EVs locally may have been swayed by Indonesian government efforts to popularize the vehicles.



Toyota is also facing greater competition in the region. Japanese automakers have enjoyed a high market share in the country and in other Southeast Asian nations.
But Chinese and South Korean firms have recently made inroads with their own EVs in these markets.
