The global semiconductor shortage and the spread of the new coronavirus infection in Southeast Asia continue to affect the production of Japanese automakers.
Honda has announced that the number of vehicles produced at its domestic plant as of the beginning of next month will decrease by about 10% compared to the original plan.
According to the announcement, Honda expects that the number of automobiles produced at its domestic plants will be "reduced" by about 10% below the original plan even at the beginning of next month.
This is due to the global shortage of semiconductors and the stagnation of parts procurement from important Southeast Asian bases in the supply chain due to the spread of the new corona infection.
Although the range of production cuts compared to the plan has shrunk compared to about 60% in August and last month, the cuts have been prolonged.
Honda commented that it takes more than half a year from the contract with the customer to the delivery of the car, "We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers, but we will continue to make efforts to minimize the impact." ..
