MZDAY - Mazda Motor halts operations for two days at Hiroshima and Hofu on supply chain disruption

Mazda Motor (MZDAY +2.3%) stated Thursday that it would suspend automobile production at its two domestic factories in Japan for 2 days in April due to parts supply challenges. That will see the halt from April 4 to April 5 at Mazda's plants in Hiroshima and Hofu. The Japanese automaker said that a rise in China's COVID-19 cases were among factors expected to cause problems in the supply of components. Last week, European Union's new passenger data showed car sales down 6.7% in February.
