REUTERS/Andrew Kelly/File PhotoTOKYO : Toyota Motor was forced to repeatedly halt production at a Mexico plant in February and March after local labour shortages snarled output at suppliers, according to people with knowledge of the automaker's operations.
Reuters spoke to four people at suppliers and Toyota. All of them declined to be identified because the information has not been made public. Those scandals have prompted the automaker to delay the start of the production of electric vehicles in the United States by six months to around June 2026, two of the people said. The EV delay was previously reported by Japanese media.
The automaker requested details from parts makers on their challenges in North America and what kind of support they required. Last week Toyota booked a 27.5 billion yen operating loss in North America for January-March, although overall, it delivered record earnings.
