Toyota Cuts July Production Citing Parts Shortage - Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM)

Toyota Motor Corp TM has cut its July global production plan by 50,000 vehicles due to the parts shortage resulting from the spread of COVID-19.
The company expects the global production volume for July to be approximately 800,000 units (250,000 units in Japan and 550,000 units overseas).
The auto major has decided to extend the previously announced operations halt in production lines as the COVID-19 outbreak at one of its suppliers raised concern.
