The restart of eight shutdown plants will take place no earlier than October 23
The Kyodo agency spoke about Toyota’s plans to restart shutdown factories. It is reported that one plant, in Aichi Prefecture, will be able to restart on October 19-20, but two plants in Iwate and Miyagi prefectures will have to be suspended.
AvtoVAZ’s problems have overtaken Toyota
By the end of the week, the company will have 13 assembly lines down at 8 plants, nearly half of Toyota’s total production capacity in Japan. They assemble Prius, Corolla, Land Cruiser and RAV4.
Let us remind you that on October 16, an explosion occurred at a plant in Aichi Prefecture for the production of auto components – this was the reason for the shortage of components at the assembly plants of the Japanese company.
Toyota is now facing the same problems as AvtoVAZ. The Russian auto giant is experiencing a serious shortage of various components for its various models. As a result, the company accumulated about 12 thousand incomplete Lada Vestas.
