LONDON -- Toyota Motor will halt vehicle production at a U.K. plant the day after the country's planned Oct. 31 separation from the European Union, the company said Friday, anticipating difficulties from the breakup.
The plant in central England's Burnaston will suspend work Friday, Nov. 1, with tentative plans to resume the following Monday. Toyota, which generally operates on an inventory-minimizing "just in time" basis, is stockpiling parts as a contingency.
