In November, Toyota increased the production capacity of its French plant from 100,000 to 184,000 units per year. This necessitated the change to the three-shift operation. In July, the 500,000th Yaris left the factory. At the same time Toyota raised its annual production to 270,000 units a year. The millionth Yaris, already in second generation, was manufactured in December 2006 and in 2016 the three-millionth Yaris was produced.

In May 2011, Toyota stopped production of the French Yaris model of the second generation which was replaced by the identicalDaihatsu Charade. However, the official successor is the Toyota Yaris of the third generation which is also manufactured in France.
In June 2012, Toyota announced that it would move production of the Toyota Yaris for theNorth American market from Japan to France. The company expects annual exports to total 25,000 units.[1]
