If you need another reminder that Covid-19 is still impacting vehicle production, Toyota has announced that it will suspend operations on selected days in May and June at several of its plants in Japan.
According to the Japanese carmaker, the adjustments to its production plans are due to the ongoing parts shortage brought on by the current lockdown in Shanghai as well as the scarcity of semiconductors.
The company added its global production plan for June will be reduced by 100,000 units to approximately 850,000 units (250,000 units in Japan and 600,000 units overseas), and this figure will also be the average through August.
For the full period of fiscal year 2023, Toyota did not change its estimate of producing around 9.7 million vehicles worldwide. Even so, the carmaker said external factors beyond its control will make it difficult to look ahead, although it will still strive to push out as many cars as possible.

Their Toyota CEO dude from Japan is the only one exaggerating the chip shortage issue, 100,000 drop.
Their small bradder P2 and UMW acknowledged their sales also dropped,but didnt use it as excuse.Bear in mind,inflation is shooting up due to Putin’s war.People may be holding on to big item purchases like cars and real estate.
So,Toyota own up to your shortcomings.
The chip shortage will continue till 2024.
The real losers are those like their Japan CEO dude who like to find excuses.Only mavericks will be Top Guns.
Not excuse champions.
All brands also got chip shortage, not only just Toyota
You should tell that to your friends camping in Proton tered.
I think “100,000” is what the media use because it looks sensational so they’re the ones exaggerating. That’s 100,000 from almost 1,000,000 which is slightly less than 10%. That’s still a lot of potential revenue to be cutting off, but Toyota isn’t exaggerating the issue.
Perodua’s sales dropped as much as 12%, (which they attributed to chip shortage and pandemic) which in terms of their sales volume is more than what Toyota is deliberately cutting down on. Perodua lost 12% of their sales and their excess stock just cost them money. Toyota will lose 10% of sales from cars they haven’t actually made.
Ada pun sikit sikit je… takde lah sampai 100000. Takkan semua chip kena ambik brand lain sampai sales drop 100000.
All brands also got chip shortage, not only just Toyota
