The Japanese corporation Honda stops the work of two plants for the production of gasoline cars in China. This is due to great competition for local electric cars.
Of the six Japanese plants in China, one will be completely closed and the other will suspend operations for the time being. Both plants produced twenty percent of Honda vehicles in China.
Instead, the corporation is going to open two plants for the production of electric cars. Thus Honda wants to try to maintain its position in the Chinese market. This is reported by the NHK television company.
Last fall Mitsubishi, not withstanding the competition, closed production in China. Nissan is also going to stop the work of one of its plants.
Earlier it was reported about the vacation of the car plant “Moskvich”. In addition, it became known about the start of production of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 SUVs in China.
