It had announced last week resumption, from 12 July, of single shift operations at both Hiroshima factories plus a return to normal operations at Hofu.

Mazda said in a statement it would ensure its own commuting and logistics movements had minimal impact on transport networks and did not hamper government and community rescue efforts, reviewing its production plan if necessary.
