E-Autos: Stellantis stoppt Produktion in drei französischen Werken – Batterien fehlen
Wegen eines Batteriemangels für Elektroautos mit hoher Reichweite stellt Stellantis die Produktion ein. Die Werke in Sochaux, Rennes und Mulhouse sollen mindestens eine Woche lang stillstehen.
Auto manufacturer Stellantis has halted production at three of its French factories due to a shortage of batteries for electric vehicles. The disruption will last at least a week, the company announced on Tuesday. The affected sites are Sochaux, Rennes, and Mulhouse. Employees were reportedly informed of the plans by the company on Tuesday.
The Sochaux plant, which produces the Peugeot 3008 SUV, will be closed from October 23rd to October 30th, while the Rennes factory, which manufactures the Citroën C5 Aircross, will halt production between October 22nd and October 30th, a Stellantis spokesperson said in a statement. The stoppage is due to a lack of batteries for high-range electric vehicles.
The demand for these models, particularly from fleet customers, exceeds the current supply, Stellantis explained. By temporarily adjusting the production plan, the company aims to prevent a buildup of non-demanding vehicle stocks. The newly launched Citroën C5 Aircross is especially affected, the automaker stated, to avoid producing too many vehicles.
