A: Hey! Did you hear about Toyota’s plans?

B: No way! What's up?

A: They’re planning to make over 10 million cars by 2026! It’s almost a record for them.

B: Wow! That's a lot of cars! They already made over 10 million in 2023, right?

A: Exactly! They told their suppliers about this new plan.

B: That’s awesome! I wonder if it will be affected by those US tariffs?

A: Apparently not too much! People still really want their hybrid cars, even in the US. Electric car sales might slow down a little though.

B: Interesting! So, a big chunk of those cars will be made in Japan?

A: Yep! About 3.5 million! It's more than they usually need to make here to keep jobs safe.

B: I see! But are they worried about anything?

A: Well, analysts say there are risks. Like problems getting semiconductors and what will happen with demand in China.

B: Oh yeah, those are tricky things! Fingers crossed for Toyota!

A: Definitely! Let’s hope they hit their target!
