TOYOTA'S Deeside plant has achieved an industry first in building the 1.8-litre VVT-i petrol engine for the new Auris Hybrid because it is the firm's first factory outside Japan to manufacture a hybrid vehicle power plant.

The petrol engine is wholly produced at the North Wales facility and then shipped to Toyota's Burnaston car plant for installation in the new model, which goes on sale on July 1.
