On 12 October, the company said: “Production of pickup trucks at the plant will “remain suspended at this time.”

Toyota said Friday it would extend its production suspension at its three plants in Thailand to 22 October due to flooding that has disrupted its supply chain.

While the flooding has not had a direct impact on its plants or employees, the automaker has decided to extend the production halt as some parts suppliers are experiencing delays, it said.

Production had been halted from Monday to Saturday 15 October this week. The automaker does not operate the Thai plants on Sundays.

Toyota said it will decide on whether to resume or continue suspending operations from 24 October onwards depending on how the situation develops.

Honda Motor, whose  Ayutthaya new vehicle car park has been photographed underwater with cars floating, said said on Friday it would extend the production halt there until 21 October.
