Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. and Suzuki Motor Corp. suspended output in some factories in Japan after the second major snowstorm this month disrupted shipments of parts from suppliers.
Toyota halted production today in its Takaoka plant that builds Corolla and IQ cars, and the Tsutsumi factory that makes vehicles including the Prius and Camry, said Kayo Doi, a spokeswoman. The Toyota City, Japan-based automaker also suspended output at its Motomachi and Tahara plants, according to the company. All plants except Tsutsumi will resume production tomorrow, Doi said.
