Japanese automaker Toyota again suspends the production of its cars. This time, 21 production lines will be stopped at 11 factories in Japan. This decision is due to another outbreak of coronavirus in the country.
About it writes AMPERCar.
Analysts say the new shutdown will only exacerbate the backlog caused by the global shortage of semiconductors and other components. In January 2022 alone, the total number of unreleased vehicles will be around 47,000. These include the popular Toyota Camry sedans and Land Cruiser SUVs.
Meanwhile, the incidence of COVID-19 in Japan is rising at a record pace, although the number of deaths and daily hospitalizations remains relatively low.
Cursor also wrote that Skoda is preparing to show a new budget sedan. The name is reminiscent of the past of the company, which began its activity with the production of bicycles for the Slavia brand more than 100 years ago.
We also wrote that Genesis cars will add an unlock function using the iPhone. Last year, Apple introduced support for digital car keys, which means that Apple smartphone users will only be able to unlock their car with an iPhone or Apple Watch.
