DB CARGO UK is to spend £2.6m on new facilities at its depot at Toton in Nottinghamshire for handling the export and import of Toyota cars.
A vehicle storage compound and loading and unloading facilities will be created on a disused section of the site next to the existing paint shop and stores. Subject to planning approval, new services will begin in January 2022, taking hybrid Toyota Corollas, which are manufactured at the Burnaston plant in Derbyshire, to France and the Czech Republic. The return leg of the journey will be used to import Aygo, Yaris and Yaris+ vehicles to the UK.
