Honda has said it expects its production in flood-hit China facilities to fully return to normal on Friday (June 20).


Honda had suspended production on and off at all four of its Chinese car assembly plants and an engine factory since as far back as June 3 after heavy rains flooded two of the facilities in Guangzhou, Reuters reported.


Honda has restarted production at four of the factories at various points starting from June 11 to June 17.


It will bring an engine plant that was partially restarted on June 13 to normal operations on June 20, when it also plans to restart operations at an assembly plant in the southern city of Guangzhou, a spokesman at the carmaker told Reuters.


Honda’s four car factories have a total production capacity of 530,000 vehicles a year.
