Daihatsu resumes production of two models at Kyoto plant

Daihatsu resumed production of two commercial vehicle models at its plant in Kyoto Prefecture on Monday.

This marked the first resumption of Daihatsu’s domestic vehicle production, which had been halted entirely for nearly two months due to its fraudulent vehicle tests.

Daihatsu, a subsidiary of Toyota, hopes to restart production gradually for models whose safety has been confirmed by the transport ministry.
