Toyota Motor said it will restart some domestic auto parts production from Thursday, the first resumption of production in Japan by the world’s No.1 carmaker since last Friday’s devastating earthquake.

Factories will begin making parts to be shipped to service centres for repairs to Toyota vehicles already on the road, a spokesman for the company said.

It is still undecided, however, when it will restart its 12 main assembly plants, the spokesman said.
From March 21, Toyota will also begin making car parts for shipment to assembly plants overseas, the company said.
