Honda Motor to Suspend Production in Taiwan
Honda Motor Co. said its production facility in Taiwan will be suspended starting Dec. 15, as the flooding in Thailand has stopped supply of some key components.
Honda Taiwan Co. said in a statement posted on its website: "Since Honda's production facility in the flooded part of Thailand is not operating, Honda Taiwan is affected by the discontinued supply of components. We have been adjusting our output in order to keep production going, but we are now forced to decide to halt our production here from Dec. 15."
The Japanese carmaker said it is not known when production will resume. According to local newspaper, Honda has a market share of around 6.3% in Taiwan. Honda officials have said earlier shortages owing to this year's flooding in Thailand primarily affected electronic subcomponents such as computer chips used in parts such as headlights and navigation systems.
