According to Honda, domestic production last month and this month will decrease by about 60% from the original plan.
This is due to the global shortage of semiconductors and the difficulty in procuring parts from Southeast Asia, where the infection of the new coronavirus continues to spread.
Production at the beginning of next month is also expected to decrease by about 30% at this point, and the impact may further increase.
Along with this, there was a delay in delivery, and Honda said, "We are trying to minimize the impact, but the uncertain situation continues. We will continue to maximize the delivery of products to our customers as soon as possible. I will make an effort. "
Automakers have announced that Toyota Motor will cut production by more than 700,000 units this month and next month in Japan and overseas.
In addition, Daihatsu has reduced production by 50,000 units from last month to this month, and SUBARU and Suzuki have also suspended factory operations, which has a more serious impact on production activities.
