Toyota’s Daihatsu to compensate suppliers over output halt

Toyota Motor's small car unit Daihatsu Motor will compensate 423 domestic suppliers with which it has direct business relations as its plants in Japan remain idled due to a safety scandal, a spokesperson said on Monday. The small car specialist has halted production in Japan until the end of next month, the spokesperson said. The company will consider compensating suppliers based on past business volumes and is working to assess the impact of the stoppage on its sprawling supplier network, he added.
