Toyota plans to reduce energy consumption and cut carbon emissions at its Deeside plant in a £1.6 million investment.
The investment, which includes support from the Welsh Government with an award of £375,000 from its Economic Futures Fund, will purchase more efficient high-temperature aluminium casting furnaces, used in the production of hybrid engines at the site.
The machines will reduce metal losses in the manufacturing process and deliver significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions.
Toyota's project will further lower the environmental impact of the site and will help Toyota meet its ambition of being net zero in carbon emissions by 2050.
Tim Freeman, deputy managing director at Toyota in Deeside, said: "This is an exciting development at our Deeside plant and takes us towards our ambition of being net zero in carbon emissions by 2050. We will have a cleaner and more efficient engine manufacturing process, which will also reduce waste.
"We have already taken steps to reduce emissions at Deeside, including installing a solar energy plant, and this latest development will support a further reduction to our overall carbon footprint."
