UPDATE: He was referring to car traffic.

I called Nummi’s spokesman Lance Tamasu earlier this week about what Fremont’s largest employer thinks about Fremont’s largest development proposal. I’m still trying to confirm whether or not he’s referring to both potential rail and street traffic concerns, but here’s what he wrote:

NUMMI operates with just-in-time delivery, so we worry when there is a potential for increased traffic congestion in the area. We have expressed our concerns to City officials as well as the Oakland A’s and everyone seems interested in working together for a win-win solution.

NUMMI may get to build the Prius, but a San Carlos-based electric car company is planning to build the Bay Area’s (and California’s) second car manufacturing plant. For more info, click here.

The Associated Press is reporting that Toyota hasn’t decided whether to use the NUMMI plant in Fremont to produce Prius hybrids. A Japanese paper reported that Toyota is in talks with GM about using the plant to make the car.

If you’ve ever wondered how a Toyota Tacoma is assemled at Fremont’s NUMMI plant, here’s a good photo essay on how it’s done.
