The factory in the city of Suzuka will also slash its production by half for the month of April, expanding the scale of the cutback from an earlier announcement that it would cut back production by about a third. The company said the persistent semiconductor shortage as well as uncertain geopolitical affairs had caused delays in logistics and parts arrival.
A factory in Saitama prefecture would also reduce production by a third in April but is planning to restore normal operation in early May, the company said.Reporting by Satoshi Sugiyama; Editing by Tom HogueSubscribe to our auto newsletter to get the latest news that are driving the global automotive industry.
