The production volume of major domestic automakers in November fell below the same month last year at four companies, including Nissan and Honda, due to the spread of the new corona infection in China.
In China, the number of infections has been increasing rapidly since December, and it is possible that production will be affected in the future.
Eight major domestic automakers announced on the 26th that the production volume of 4 companies in November fell below the same month last year, and the
rate of decrease was
▽ Nissan Motor 22%
▽ Mitsubishi Motors 13%
▽ Honda was 12%
▽ Mazda was 6%.
In addition to the continuing global shortage of semiconductors, China's "zero corona" policy imposed strict restrictions on movement, and factories stopped operating.
On the other hand, in the other four companies, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. increased by 11%
and Suzuki and SUBARU by 4%,
which exceeded last year's results , partly
as a reaction to last year's decline in production .
▽ Toyota's production in China declined, but it increased in the United States and Thailand, etc., and the total number of production worldwide was 833,104 units, which was 1% higher than last year and was the highest ever for November. .
In China, after the measures against the new corona were eased on December 7, the infection has spread rapidly in various places, and there is a possibility that the production of each automaker will be affected in the future.
