After several weeks of shutdowns caused by the massive earthquake that ripped through Northern Japan, Toyota says it will finally resume production of one of its most important models, the Prius Hybrid.
Toyota says that production will ramp up on Monday at its Tsutsumi plant. The Prius is North America’s best-selling Japanese-built car; every week of halted production cost Toyota untold amounts.
The automaker also says that its Japanese-built Lexus CT 200h and HS 250h will also resume production at its Kyushu plant in Southern Japan on Monday.
Last week, Toyota restarted production of replacement parts for vehicles and earlier this week it reopened plants that produce parts for overseas production.
Production was halted at every major automobile assembly plant in Japan shortly after the March 11 earthquake.
