PT Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM), an Indonesian subsidiary of Daihatsu Motor, has announced the start of full-scale operations of the Karawang Assembly Plant 2 (KAP 2) located in West Java. The plant, which began construction in February 2023 with an investment of 2.9 trillion rupiah, was completed in anticipation of the aging ADM Sunter Assembly Plant 1, which has been in operation for 27 years.
The Karawang Assembly Plant 2 complements the Karawang Assembly Plant (KAP) that has been in operation since 2013, with a cumulative total of approximately 2.3 million vehicles being delivered to customers in Indonesia and around the world. This production capacity is also supported by more than 1,700 suppliers, including 700 MSMEs, as well as a localisation rate of more than 80% for all vehicles produced.
With the new site up and running, the Karawang plant is now Daihatsu Group’s largest overseas production plant with an annual production capacity of 360,000 units (KAP 2 contributes 140,000 units). . Models produced there (as of February 2025) include the Daihatsu Ayla, Toyota Agya and Toyota Wigo. Across ADM’s six production sites, the total capacity is 530,000 units a year.
The new KAP 2 factory has body welding, painting and assembly facilities that feature modern processes and uses renewable energy, the latter coming in the form of 5,100 solar panels on the roof of the plant building that reduces CO2 emissions by about 30% per year with 3,000 kW of energy generated.

it could have been Malaysia, but we are automatically forfeited because of P2. Just like how we would have gotten a large investment from Geely, but due to P1 we lost that by default.
Why would daihatsu want to set another plan when they have partner in bed, perodua? They both owned by toyota. It is up to toyota malaysia and toyota asia pacific to decide whether they want to bring and produce other overseas daihatsu models in asean region
Habeslah P2! Now all their cars coming from Indon how can they still claim to be National Car brand?
Congratulations to Daihatsu Toyota.
