Average monthly global production for the period from April to June would be about 800,000 units, it added.
Toyota’s global vehicle production would be down 10% in May and 5% in June compared to previous estimates made at the beginning of the year, a company executive said.
The announcement comes roughly a week after it said it would scale back domestic production by up to 20% during the months of April, May and June to ease the strain on suppliers struggling with shortages of chips and other parts.
