After several weeks of strict shelter-in-place protocols and a temporary halt to manufacturing and other business operations across the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic, several automakers have resumed work and restarted their production.
For some companies, however, there are still problems in the assembly line, especially those that had to pause production anew due to parts shortage and other supply chain issues.
For Toyota, production has also resumed globally. But the company is looking at lower production outputs across all facilities until August.
In a statement, the Japanese automaker said it expects factory output to be reduced by around 10% in the coming months as it continues to face challenges in ramping up production. Toyota was one of the automakers that stopped production in March and resumed with a limited capacity last month.
Despite production going down by 10% in July, Toyota said its factories have made significant improvements for the month of June.
The future is also looking better for the American automotive market as sales continue to improve after plummeting in March and April. The increase in car sales is attributed to 0% financing deals offered by car companies.
In the coming months, scheduled vehicle launches are also set to take place after a slight delay due to the public health crisis.
