Toyota va réduire temporairement sa production en France
Reuters | 22.02.10 | 11h50
TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota a annoncé lundi qu'il réduirait temporairement sa production en France pour l'adapter à l'impact sur ses ventes du rappel de plusieurs millions de véhicules dans le monde. Le groupe japonais, premier constructeur automobile mondial, a confirmé parallèlement son intention de prolonger les mesures de réduction de la production de ses deux usines au Royaume-Uni.
Toyota a rappelé au total 8,5 millions de voitures ces derniers mois en raison de problèmes liés à la pédale d'accélérateur, au tapis de sol ou au système de freinage de ses modèles hybrides.
L'usine française d'Onnaing (Nord) qui produit la Yaris, interrompra sa production pendant plusieurs jours entre début mars et fin avril, a expliqué Toyota, sans plus de précision. Le site a une capacité de production d'environ 270.000 véhicules par an.
Toyota avait auparavant pris des mesures pour réduire sa production aux Etats-Unis, où ses ventes ont nettement diminué ces dernières semaines.

Reuters | 22.02.10
Tokyo (Reuters) – Toyota announced on Monday that it would temporarily reduce its production in France, in response to the impact which the recall of millions of vehicles worldwide has had on sales. The Japanese firm, which is the world’s leading car manufacturer, simultaneously confirmed its intention to extend production cutbacks in both of its factories in the United Kingdom.
Toyota has recalled a total of 8.5 million cars in recent months due to problems involving accelerator pedals, floor mats and the braking system in its hybrid models
Toyota has also announced that its French factory in Onnaing which produces the Yaris, will stop production for several days at the beginning of March and the end of April. The French plant has a production capacity of about 270,000 vehicles per year.
Toyota has previously taken measures to reduce production in the United States, where its sales have markedly decreased in recent weeks.

Un bombardeo de las fuerzas de la OTAN en Afganistán (ISAF) ha matado a 27 civiles en la provincia de Uruzgan, al sur del país, según el gobierno afgano. Entre los fallecidos hay cuatro mujeres y un niño. Los civiles, que se aproximaron a una unidad conjunta de la OTAN y el ejército afgano, fueron confundidos con insurgentes, sobre quienes se desplegó ayer el ataque aéreo.
Entre las víctimas se encuentran otros 12 heridos, según ha informado el Ministerio de Interior afgano. "Las tropas de la ISAF sospechaban de que varios vehículos de civiles escondían insurgentes y los bombardearon", ha explicado Zamari Bashary, portavoz de Interior. La presidencia afgana ha calificado el suceso como "injustificable" y ha condenado el ataque "en los términos más enérgicos posibles".
Según el presidente del consejo provincial de Uruzgan, se trataba de tres minibuses en los que las víctimas viajaban a través de un paso en el distrito de Char Cheno.
