Toyota to restart all suspended plants in Japan on March 2

Baku, March 1, AZERTAC

Toyota Motor Corp. says it will restart all of its plants in Japan on Wednesday following a one-day suspension after a domestic supplier suffered a computer system failure caused by a cyberattack, according to Kyodo News.

The decision comes as Toyota completely halted 28 production lines across its 14 factories in the country on Tuesday as a result of a system malfunction at Kojima Industries Corp. in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture. The halt impacted the production of about 13,000 vehicles or 5 percent of its monthly output.

The 14 plants affected include a factory in Tokyo operated by group truck manufacturer Hino Motors Ltd. and a plant in Kyoto Prefecture run by minivehicle maker Daihatsu Motor Co.
