Honda’s Swindon factory won't return to normal daily production until September.

This follows the period of parts supply interruption and reduced production levels following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
With parts supply from Japan “improving significantly”, HUM will now plan production for the remainder of the year to recover volume and quickly respond to customers’ requirements.

Ken Keir, executive vice president of Honda Motor Europe, said: “We are extremely pleased that our European manufacturing operations can now plan for production to return to normal,” said.

“We would like to thank our customers and dealers for showing great understanding during this challenging period. As production levels recover, we are fully focussed on satisfying customer demand”.
