JAPAN EARTHQUAKE CAUSES SHORT TERM ADJUSTMENT FOR ALTONA PLANT

Toyota Australia will adjust vehicle production at its Altona manufacturing plant to manage available parts supply following last month’s Japan earthquake and tsunami.

The manufacturing plant will operate on a reduced schedule of around 50 per cent in the month of May with a similar outlook for the month of June. Approximately 9,600 Camry, Hybrid Camry and V6 Aurion vehicles will be produced during May and June for domestic and export markets.
