Between May 6 and 14, Toyota will resume production on all vehicle assembly lines in Japan after a scheduled holiday between April 29 and May 5. The vehicle assembly lines that have remained suspended* until this point will restart production, in addition to those that have or will have started operation this week.
Going forward, we will proceed to make further decisions about operation while closely monitoring and securing the parts supply situation, etc..
For reference: On April 20, Toyota announced that it would restart production of most vehicle assembly lines in stages between April 25 and 28, after suspension due to parts shortages resulting from the severe earthquakes that struck Japan’s island of Kyushu.
*The vehicle assembly lines that have remained suspended between April 25 and 28:
| Operated by Toyota Motor Corporation | Operated by Toyota Group companies |
|---|---|
| Motomachi Plant (line 1 and LFA Works) |
Miyata Plant (lines 1 and 2)
|
We will continue to make all possible efforts to offer support to the residents of Kumamoto, and hope for the soonest possible recovery of the affected areas.
