Toyota's official statement said: "We apologize for the great concern caused to local residents and related persons. We will further remind our employees at all bases and resident employees of partner companies to prevent the spread of infection and to confirm their health status in more detail. If circumstances change in the future, we will disclose information in a timely manner and take all possible measures to prevent the spread of infection. ”
In addition, according to media reports, a toyota spokesman revealed that the factory that was affected by the shutdown was responsible for producing Camry and Corolla models. The plant is expected to shut down for four days, which is expected to reduce the company's car production by as much as 1,500 units.
At the same time, Toyota's eight plants and 11 production lines in Japan are also scheduled to suspend production in February due to chip shortages, including the Motomachi plant, the Takaoka plant, and the Tahara plant.
Toyota said that due to this impact, Toyota expects global new vehicle production in February to be about 150,000 units less than the production plan, or about 700,000 units. Due to the temporary suspension of production, Toyota expects full-year production in fiscal 2021 (ending in March 2022) to be lower than the previous forecast of 9 million units.
