Japanese car makers have been among the businesses worst affected by the earthquake<\/p>\n
Toyota is to stop production at five plants in Europe for several days in April and May because component supplies from Japan remain limited.<\/p>\n
The announcement comes a day after the Japanese car maker announced similar shutdowns in North America.<\/p>\n
Last month’s earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan damaged machinery and electricity supplies at Toyota’s component factories.<\/p>\n
The European plants affected are in the UK, Turkey, France and Poland.<\/p>\n
“Even if the supply chain has not yet been interrupted, short-term parts shortages are foreseeable,” said Toyota, which has yet to decide on production levels after May.<\/p>\n
The shutdowns will take place at British plants in Burnaston, Derbyshire, and Deeside, Flintshire, as well as Adapazari in Turkey, Valenciennes in France, and Jelcz-Laskowice in Poland.<\/p>\n
Production there will be stopped there on 21 and 22 April, from 25 to 29 April, and 2 May.<\/p>\n
The company’s domestic factories have resumed production, although at a reduced capacity.<\/p>\n
Factories in Japan will be shut down again between 27 April and 9 May, although that includes the traditional Japanese Golden Week holiday.<\/p>\n
