Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) will manufacture vehicles at all its Japanese vehicle-production facilities from April 18 to April 27 as it continues to address its supply and power problems that resulted following the March 11 Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
However, production volume is planned to be approximately 50% percent of normal. After April 27, all production facilities will enter an annual spring holiday through May 9. A decision on post-holiday production will be made after assessing the parts supply situation. Production resumed on March 28 at TMC’s Tsutsumi Plant in Aichi Prefecture and at Toyota Motor Kyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture. There is also a planned production restart on April 11 at Central Motor Co’s Sagamihara Plant in Kanagawa Prefecture. Toyota’s Japan plants make more than 45% of the vehicles it sells globally.
