The tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan continues to invest around the world on several fronts to stop all operations at the national level, including those in the automotive sector. Effects are heavy for the automotive industry worldwide caused by prolonged sleep Japanese manufacturers of cars, in fact even begin to stop the plants outside the Japanese territory.
According to estimates by IHS Global Insight, this has already resulted in production losses for a total of about 250,000 cars. Toyota has decided to stop at least until tomorrow and its facilities and those of subsidiaries. Suzuki still remains firm with a plant Kosai, Iwata, Toyokawa and Sagara.
No activity until recently even for Nissan Motor plants Oppama, Tochigi, Nissan Shatai and Yokohama. Only now this should restart the production of components in six of its plants in the territory of Japan. A chain reaction important but that does not come entirely unexpected, the same Marchionne at the presentation to the President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano of the new Lancia Thema him early, saying "the impact will be, but I do not think that will last long." For now, at Fiat reveals he has yet accused the negative effects, "but it is too early, wait." Instead blaming a lack of Renault's plants, because of missing supplies of components from Japan.
The French car manufacturer is then forced to reduce by 15-20% of its production plant in Busan in South Korea, which will result in approximately 3 000 vehicles per month less, normally about 20 thousand products. For the same reason, arrives today to stop even the Opel plant in Zaragoza in Spain - where the work had already been slowed down in recent days - and in the German plant in Eisenach.
In particular, there is no electronic components for the production of the Opel Corsa. Finally, problems also for General Motors, which plans to stop production plant in Shreveport, Louisiana next week.
