Toyota Motor, Honda Motor and Suzuki Motor suspended output in some factories in Japan after the second major snowstorm this month disrupted shipments of parts from suppliers, reports Bloomberg News.
The automaker halted production in its Takaoka plant that builds Corolla and IQ cars, and the Tsutsumi factory that makes vehicles including the Prius and Camry, according to the company’s spokeswoman.
The automaker also suspended output at its Motomachi and Tahara plants, according to the company. All plants except Tsutsumi will resume production Tuesday, the spokeswoman said.
Honda on Monday suspended production at its Yorii factory in Saitama prefecture near Tokyo because of snow, after halting output at affected sites on Feb. 14 and Feb. 15, according to Kumiko Hashimoto, a company spokeswoman.
Suzuki stopped output at three factories in Shizuoka, spokesman Hideki Taguchi said.
