There is no peace for Toyota. The Japanese carmaker continues to deal with a severe shortage of components, mainly semiconductors, which will force it to order new production cuts. Toyota’s decision to further reduce assembly operations for eight days in March on a line at its unidentified plant comes just days after the same Japanese automaker reduced its in-house production target by up to 20% to the quarter April-June.
According to a spokesperson for Toyota to Reuters, the new production cut announced by the company is expected to affect the realization of approximately 14,000 Noah and Voxy minivans. As mentioned, this is not the first similar measure taken by the Japanese company: previously Toyota had already announced that it would reduce production for three months starting from April in the mother country to relieve pressure on suppliers, and that it would temporarily suspend production. in the plant of the joint venture it shares with FAW Group in the city of Changchun, China. However, the new production cuts should not impact on the company’s forecasts in terms of objectives: the production estimates of 8.5 million vehicles in all of 2022 they shouldn’t be retouched, or at least not for the moment.
