Toyota Motor said that it would suspend operations on some lines of seven plants early next month, saying that parts procurement from Shanghai, China has been delayed due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but two of them will be suspended. Announced that we will add a day to do it.
Until now, Toyota Motor had said that it would suspend the operation of some of its seven plants for up to six days in early next month, but according to the announcement, some of the Motomachi and Takaoka plants in Aichi Prefecture will be suspended. Then, we will stop the operation for 10 days each.
It is said that this is because parts manufacturers in Shanghai, China, have been infected with the new corona and the employee attendance rate has been low, and parts procurement has been delayed.
Partly due to this effect, next month's domestic and overseas production will decrease by 50,000 from the original plan to about 800,000.
In Shanghai, China, the strict restrictions on going out to prevent infection of the new corona were lifted on the 1st of this month, but among domestic automobile manufacturers, SUBARU and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. have partially stopped the operation of their factories this month, and are now in production activities. The influence of is continuing.
