Thai flooding impacts Honda production
Vehicle, motorcycle and MPE production suspended due access and supply constraints at HATC plantContinued flooding in central and northern Thailand has impacted Honda’s vehicle, motorcycle and MPE production. Flood waters have limited access to the plant, while supply disruptions have forced a suspension of manufacturing.
The vehicle plant was closed from October 4 -10 with the motorcycle and MPE facility closed for two days from October 6-8. Although operations have resumed at the motorcycle facility, vehicle and MPE production remains shuttered.
Bikes like the CBR250R come out of Honda's Thai factory.
Honda says it will continue to monitor the situation and is exerting a “company-wide effort to normalise production as soon as possible”. The firm is confident its Australian motorcycle and MPE business will remain largely unaffected, but has apologised in advance for the impact on vehicle supply saying it will clarify the scenario as more information comes to hand.
“We deeply regret any inconvenience experienced by our customers and ask for their understanding during these challenging times,” Honda Australia said in a statement. “Honda would like to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the victims of the flood in central and northern Thailand, and our sincere hopes for the earliest possible relief and recovery of the areas affected.”
