Toyota is marshaling idled U.S. factories to make protective gear amid outbreak-related shortages, and is finalizing deals with medical device makers to boost production of respirators and ventilators.
The Japanese carmaker announced Friday that it was joining the effort to assist with the COVID-19 supply shortfall in the United States. Several factories would begin producing much needed gear, the company said in a release, which listed other initiatives like cash donations to nonprofit organizations and payment relief for customers.
