Toyota Motor Corp. said Friday it has restarted plants in Indonesia and Malaysia after their suspension due to the new coronavirus spread, bringing all production in Southeast Asia back online.
The world's second-largest automaker by volume resumed operations at a plant in Shah Alam, Malaysia, while local subsidiary P.T. Astra Daihatsu Motor in Indonesia also restarted its plant.
Toyota built about 900,000 vehicles in Southeast Asia in 2019, about 10 percent of its global output. India is the only market in Asia where output has yet to resume. In other regions, production in Portugal, Brazil and Venezuela also remains suspended, Toyota said.
