Škoda Auto cutting output over shortage of parts made in Ukraine

Carmaker Škoda Auto is being forced to reduce production at its main plant in Mladá Boleslav from this week due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The company is facing a critical shortage of parts that normally come from a number of local suppliers in Ukraine. The production of Škoda cars in Ukraine itself has also been halted.

This year Škoda took over responsibility for the Russian and Ukrainian markets within the whole of its parent company Volkswagen.
