Japan Earthquake Effect on Production in China
As Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) continues to address its production situation following the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, it has decided after consultation with joint-venture partners that vehicle production in China will be carried out at 30 percent to 50 percent of normal from April 21 through June 3 due to parts supply difficulties. Parts plants are to alter their operations accordingly.
Related to this production adjustment, Toyota-related plants in China will observe the annual July summer holiday period early, in the end of April or at the beginning of May.
A decision on production after June 3 will depend on the parts-supply situation.
