Toyota to restart suspended production lines on March 4

Japan's biggest automaker Toyota Motor will restart two suspended production lines in central Japan on Monday.

The decision comes after the transport ministry lifted a ban on shipments of engines made by a group firm. Toyota on Tuesday said the restart will return its domestic plants to full output capacity. The auto giant had shut six production lines at four factories in Japan and disrupting shipments of such vehicles as the Land Cruiser 300 and the Hiace.
