Automaker SUBARU has decided to extend the suspension period of its factories in Gunma prefecture until September 17th.
The impact on automobile production is becoming even more serious as the supply of parts from Southeast Asia, where the infection is spreading rapidly, is still stagnant.
SUBARU was planning to shut down its factory in Gunma prefecture for 7 to 4 days, but it will be extended until September 17 because the supply of parts from Southeast Asia, where the infection is spreading rapidly, is still stagnant. I decided that.
The extension will be the main factory and Yajima factory, which assemble cars, and the Oizumi factory, which produces engines, etc., and the company hopes to resume operations on September 20th.
Daihatsu also decided to extend the suspension period for the head office factory in Osaka for five days until September 17, and for the factory in Oita prefecture for two days until September 14.
In addition to the global shortage of semiconductors, the spread of infection in Southeast Asia has caused the procurement of parts such as electric wires called "wire harnesses" to be delayed, and many automobile manufacturers have decided to suspend the operation of their factories. The impact on production is becoming more serious.
