Japan's automotive industry is reeling in the aftermath of a devastating 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck southwestern Japan on July 28. The quake has had a significant impact on Honda's production capabilities, with the company suspending operations at two plants that manufacture the popular Civic and Prelude models. As a result, Honda's combined output losses are nearing 20,000 vehicles, a staggering figure that highlights the severity of the disruption caused by the disaster. The suspension of production at these critical facilities is likely to have far-reaching consequences for Honda's supply chain and ultimately, its customers, who may face delays in receiving their new vehicles.
