Honda says adjustments have been made to production schedules due to delays in receiving portions and logistics following Covid-19 outbreaks and semiconductor shortages.
A handful of models will be affected. These will come with the Vezel SUV, Stepwgn pickup and Civic. Production at the Saitama and Suzuka plants was already replaced this year and returned to general in June.
Reuters notes that Honda’s production cuts are a warning that production volumes might not be high enough in the current part of the fiscal year ending in March 2023 to make up for reduced production figures earlier this year.
Interestingly, Toyota remains optimistic about this year’s production figures, confirming in August that it still aims to produce 9. 7 million cars internationally in this fiscal year. This is despite the fact that Covid-19 lockdowns in China and global chip shortages forced production to be reduced in the April-June quarter. It will also postpone production on 3 lines at its Motomachi plant in central Japan for several days this month.
