The earthquake in Japan stopped the production of car

The terrible earthquake on tsunami that struck Japan three days ago has so far caused over 1,600 deaths and at least as dispersed, with a budget to arrive, according to estimates, more than 10,000 deaths. Figures by themselves summarize the devastating earthquake occurred in the Pacific Ocean, which is having its first effects on economic performance in a country that was slowly trying to regain its growth after months of crisis.

To be affected will therefore also the auto industry, one of the most important for the Japanese economy, which boasts giants such as Toyota, Nissan, Subaru and Honda. The three groups seem destined to suffer a backlash from what is happening in the country, so that the first effects should be heard initially on production.

As reported officially, in fact, major manufacturers have decided to stop domestic establishments. For Nissan, which in Japan produces 22% of its total vehicle, the four plants across the country will remain closed indefinitely, making it currently impossible to define clearly when you will have the availability of the necessary components for the assembly of cars .

The assembly will remain in place by today for Honda, Subaru and Toyota, that align well with other major companies in other industries such as Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba and Canon, whose factories are closed even to address the decreasing availability of energy power, ceased to exist because of the problems that led to the closure of four nuclear power plants in the country.

The situation of great distress in Japan could therefore have implications for the availability of some models and spare parts in Europe and especially in the U.S., albeit a very limited extent, since the establishment of the three Japanese giants in the Old Continent will continue normal production without interruption.

In the U.S., however, glieffetti you should hear in a few weeks, since the production for North America is already on the road for several days on the transport ships, which should ensure regular deliveries immediately, while the future remains the risk of delays.
