The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shut down production across the country and led to widespread supply chain disruption in Europe, while sanctions threaten production in Russia
Ukraine has 20+ global automotive companies resident within its borders and more than 30 automotive plants, with majority located in the west of the country. Many carmakers, suppliers and logistics providers are still working to get a clear picture of how the very uncertain situation is impacting their operations.
“Skoda Auto is facing critical supply shortages of parts from several local suppliers that has effect on some of our models. This is the reason why we will limit production of the Enyaq iV from this week on [which is made at Mladá Boleslav]. To resolve this situation, our experts work hard finding available alternatives to help prevent adverse production impacts.”
