BMW & Skoda: After attacks in Ukraine – automotive industry again lacks wiring harnesses
Russian attacks hit facilities of a German supplier and disrupt the supply chain, BMW has to cancel shifts. Even alternative locations appear to be only conditionally safe.
BMW has cut shifts at its plants in Regensburg, Leipzig, and Oxford due to a shortage of wiring harnesses from Ukraine. The shortage has also affected Skoda's production of electric models Enyaq and Elroq. The disruptions are reportedly linked to Russian attacks on Ukrainian factories of German supplier Kromberg & Schubert. The attacks have impacted the company's facilities in Schytomyr and Luzk. BMW says it has taken measures to stabilize the parts supply and resume production.
