Re: Report: Honda, other Japanese Automakers Look Towards Recovery Following Earthquake
I'm not entirely sure what kind of effect the event would have in the long term as Honda, like many other car manufacturers have factories operating where-ever in the world they are selling cars.
Of course, what would be most affected would be things that are made mainly in Japan. From what I recall, most parts are supplied from Japanese factories and I do recall reading something about their supplies for parts to foreign countries being the thing that will be hardest hit. I wonder if it's possible for the manufacturing plants such as the one in Swindon UK to be called in to produce parts for global supply. Let's just hope the latest Tsunami warning doesn't bring any more damage to the area.
