Japan earthquake and production

15/03/2011

As Lexus continues to address its production situation in Japan following the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, it has decided it will produce vehicles at all its Japanese vehicle-production facilities from April 18 to April 27.

Production volume is planned to be approximately 50 percent of normal.

Afterward, all production facilities will enter their annual spring holiday through May 9.

A decision on post-holiday production will be made after assessing the parts supply situation.

This development follows production resumed on March 28 at TMC's Tsutsumi Plant in Aichi Prefecture and at Toyota Motor Kyushu, Inc. in Fukuoka Prefecture, and production restarting on April 11 at Central Motor Co., Ltd.'s Sagamihara Plant in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Lexus Australia will continue to monitor the supply condition of vehicles, parts and subcomponents sourced from Japan.
