TOYOTA Motor Corp yesterday said it will maintain output at half capacity in Japan from May 10 to June 3 amid a supply crunch following the March tsunami disaster.
The world's No. 1 auto maker said it remained unclear when the company would return to full production in Japan. Spokeswoman Shiori Hashimoto said the company was struggling to secure around 150 types of auto parts. The magnitude-9 earthquake and ensuing tsunami on March 11 have caused Toyota a production loss of 260,000 cars.
The company will resume production at all its Japanese plants at half capacity from April 18 to 27, and then halt output from April 28 to May 9, a period that includes Golden Week holidays.
Hashimoto said Toyota will decide later on production plans after June 6.
