Toyota’s Czech unit Toyota Motor Manufacturing Czech Republic will stop production at its car plant located in Kolin, east of Prague, for 14 days from March 22 because of a shortage of semiconductors, news agency CTK reported on Friday.
The shortage is due to poor weather conditions in North America, CTK report added.
The automaker makes small cars for the European market at the plant, which produces around 200,000 vehicles annually. Part of the production is for French partner PSA, which had co-owned the plant until 2020.
