TOKYO: Toyota Motor Corp on Wednesday cut its annual production target by a half a million more vehicles as a chip shortage and COVID sick leave crimped output.

It will build 8.5 million vehicles in the year to March 31, down from a previously estimated 9 million, the world's biggest carmaker said, as it posted a 21% fall in operating profit for the three months to Dec 31.
