Japanese automakers might be able to resume full-scale production in October after overcoming their parts procurement and power shortage difficulties, according to industry analysts.
Amid the difficulties triggered by the March 11 earthquake-tsunami disaster, Citigroup Global Markets Japan Inc. expects operating losses booked by all automakers in the first half of the business year to climb to a record high.
Automakers are aiming to return to their predisaster production levels as early as possible.
