Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM)
The vast majority of the automotive parts for cars produced at HUM are sourced in Europe. However, for global efficiency, a number of parts continue to be supplied from Japan. The interruption of supply of these parts will impact production activity at HUM.
HUM production volume will continue at approximately 50% of the planned weekly level from 11 April. By taking this action, HUM will be able to continue production by utilising HUM's flexible working policy; pay is maintained for all Associates. Once full production is resumed the reduced volume production will be quickly recovered using the banked hours.
Ken Keir, Executive Vice President, Honda Motor Europe stated, "We've taken the decision to reduce our production volumes at HUM as it enables us to continue with our manufacturing activities, thus minimising the impact on Honda customers, dealers and Associates. We appreciate everyone's understanding, customers and dealers, during these challenging times."
As parts supply stabilises and full production resumes, Honda will quickly develop a production schedule to meet the needs of Honda's European customers.
Donc, en français, Honda réduit la production de l'usine de Swindon (UK) de 50% à partir du 11 avril en raison du manque de pièces en provenance du Japon.
Pour rappel, l'usine de Swindon produit l'ensemble des CR-V et Civic pour l'Europe ... et une partie des Jazz (non hybrides).
J'ai remarqué qu'Honda Suisse ne parle plus de promotions sur son site depuis le 1er avril ... alors que jusqu'au 31 mars, il y a des offres assez attractives (leasing 1.9% ou primes allant jusqu'à 2000-3000€ en fonction des modèles). Serait-ce lié?

J'ai entendu l'autre jour à la radio que Toyota allait devoir aussi arrêter/ralentir sa production en Europe.
