“Toyota’s four-cylinder line in Buffalo, WV, was again the report’s most productive engine operation for the fifth consecutive year at 1.82 hours per engine (HPE). It’s only the second time The Harbour Report has had an engine plant with an HPE measure below 2, and both times it was Toyota West Virginia.”
