Daihatsu: Production of three models whose shipment suspension order has been lifted will resume at Shiga factory on March 18th. Daihatsu Motor Co.

Ltd. suspended operations at all of its domestic automobile factories in December last year due to issues with fraudulent acquisition of national certification. The company has decided to suspend production until at least the 15th of next month for vehicle models for which the government's order to suspend shipments has not been lifted, and there are concerns that this will have a prolonged impact on small and medium-sized business partners.
