EVANSVILLE — Toyota will delay restarting its North American manufacturing operations until the week of May 11.
After suspending production of all automobile and components plants in North America for a month, the company was due to open its facilities on May 4.
The decision was made after "an extensive review with our supplier and logistics network," according to a company statement Wednesday.
The company said it intends to gradually resume manufacturing operations in compliance with federal health and safety guidelines, and local and state ordinances where its facilities are located.
"The health and safety of our employees and stakeholders remain a top priority and we have implemented new protocols at all of our North American manufacturing plants to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19," the company statement said.
"We will continue to follow all safety guidelines and monitor vehicle demand as we carefully ramp up production."
