Recently, Toyota was affected by the earthquake in Japan and announced that 18 production lines at its 11 plants in northern Japan will be suspended, and the shutdown time is expected to last from Monday to Wednesday, and Toyota listed the reason for the plant shutdown as a shortage of parts.
It is reported that the models most affected by the suspension of production are Toyota Yaris, GR Yaris and Lexus LC, LS, RC and other models. In addition, not only the car manufacturers themselves are affected, but also their parts suppliers have been affected to a certain extent, and Renesas, a world-renowned supplier of automotive chips, said that its two semiconductor factories have suspended production, and it is not known when it will resume work, and the lack of chip supply will also lead to Toyota's production cuts.
The suspension of production will bring a lot of losses to Toyota, its annual production capacity will be reduced to a certain extent, and the Japanese domestic models on sale are likely to usher in price increases, and Toyota imported models in the domestic market will also have the possibility of adjusting the price, other Toyota domestic models will not be affected, we can rest assured to buy.
