Toyota halted three Thai plants until 10 October and Honda and Mitsubishi paused until 9 October, after floods cut parts deliveries from suppliers such as Takebe Tekkosho in Chonburi. Suppliers in the east say dam and reservoir levels remain high, so disruption could last. Industry body FTI may revise its 2026 forecast of 1.45 million vehicles. For SMEs in auto supply chains, this means checking flood exposure at your site and your key staff's commute routes, and having a backup supplier or buffer stock. Amata says its Chonburi estate was still accessible on 7 October.
