Vehicle assembly at Toyota’s 14 plants in Japan has been suspended indefinitely due to a technical problem. These plants represent a third of the company’s world production: 13.5 thousand vehicles per day.
Toyota announced the complete closure of 14 auto manufacturing plants in Japan. The reason was a technical failure: the company cannot order spare parts, writes Reuters.
Toyota’s 14 Japanese plants account for a third of the company’s global output. In units, this is equivalent to 13.5 thousand vehicles per day, not counting Daihatsu and Hino.
Toyota was unable to give a timeframe for reopening the factories.
Since the start of 2023, Toyota has increased production 29% year-on-year, even though it has been cutting vehicle production for the past two years due to chip shortages.
