It has been reported that Toyota Motor will suspend production at 14 Japanese plants in October due to the shortage of parts caused by the spread of the epidemic in Southeast Asia. Toyota Motor's global production in October fell by 40 percent to about 330,000 vehicles, including 150,000 units in Japan.

At present, in Japan, the production capacity of the new generation land cruiser has been very tight, consumers have to wait 2-4 years to pick up the car, and the chip shortage allows manufacturers to reduce production.
