The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the automotive industry to an abrupt but temporary halt. This means that automotive brands have had to close dealerships and production facilities in order to comply with the national government’s quarantine guidelines. With the nation slowly healing, the resumption of the automotive industry has also followed suit. Many automotive companies have already started to reopen their dealerships and other facilities. 

One such company is Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) which since May 18, 2020 has resumed the operations of its Santa Rosa plant in Laguna. The automotive brand states that it understands that restarting a business as soon as possible would stimulate economic activities in the country. With the resumption of the plant Toyota Philippines can now easily answer the demand for Vios and Innova units which are made locally.

Prior to the resumption of its Santa Rosa plant, precautionary measures were conducted in the facility to ensure safety and adherence to production protocols. All reporting team members have already been briefed with regard to the new safety guidelines and measures that will be strictly followed by the plant. The overall workforce of the facility is currently reporting on a single-shift style operation which is within the 50% workforce cap mandated by the Philippine government under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) guidelines.
