Japanese automakers Resume production at all Chinese factories March 16 22:56
Nissan Motor has resumed production at factories in Hubei and Henan, China, which had been shut down due to the new coronavirus. This means that all Japanese automakers' factories in China have resumed operations.
Nissan revealed that its plant in Xiangyang, Hubei Province has resumed production this month, and that of its plant in Zhengzhou, Henan Province has resumed production on March 14.
Initially, production was planned to resume from the beginning of last month, when the major holidays of the New Year holidays end, but this has been delayed by about one and a half months due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
The Japanese car and truck maker's factories in China have now all been reopened.
On the other hand, many factories continue to produce while monitoring the attendance of employees and the procurement of parts, and it is expected that it will take some time for full-scale production to recover.
