Due to the issue of fraudulent acquisition of national certification, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. is considering concrete measures with the aim of resuming production of the two commercial vehicle models that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism confirmed last week to comply with standards in the middle of next month. I realized that I had entered.
Our policy is to make a final decision after investigating the status of supply preparations among parts manufacturers that we do business with directly.
Daihatsu Motor Corporation has suspended operations at its four domestic automobile factories since late last month due to fraud in obtaining national certification, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced last week that five of the vehicle models involved in the fraud had met the standards. The order to stop shipping has been lifted as compliance has been confirmed.
According to sources, Daihatsu is in the process of considering concrete plans to resume production of two commercial vehicle models, including the Toyota brand Probox, produced at its domestic Kyoto plant in mid-February. I realized that I had entered.
We are conducting a survey of the status of supply preparations among parts manufacturers with whom we do direct business, and will make a final decision based on the results.
There are concerns that the Daihatsu fraud scandal will have a long-term impact on local economies, where the company has many business partners, including subcontractors.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is proceeding with confirmation tests for the remaining 40 vehicle models, including the mainstay light vehicles, and it is expected that it will take some time for the country's four automobile factories to resume full operations.
