Toyota Restarts Vehicle Production at China’s Changchun Plant

(Bloomberg) — Toyota Motor Corp. restarted operations at its Changchun plant in China, joining Volkswagen AG and other manufacturers in resuming production after more than a month of halted output due to restrictions to stem the spread of Covid-19.

Output gradually resumed Sunday, and normal operations are scheduled to begin May 4 at the factory making RAV4 SUVs in Jilin province in northeastern China, Shiori Hashimoto, a spokeswoman for Toyota, said Monday. She declined to comment on how many units of production the halt impacted.
