Honda Shuts Down
Swindon car production suspended by Coronavirus until at least 06 April - or when 'market and supply conditions' allow
Honda has today informed Associates and suppliers that production operations at Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM), in Swindon, UK, will be temporarily suspended due to the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Final countdown:
car production in Swindon is meant to end in 2021 |
Production will be suspended from the end of today’s late shift (18th March 2020). These steps have been taken in light of increasing difficulties with supply chains and considering the wellbeing of Honda Associates.
The current intention is to restart production on 6th April however, this will be dependent upon advice from Government / health authorities, and market and supply conditions.
