Škoda Auto cuts production at Czech plants due to flood damage at supplier

The Czech Republic’s biggest carmaker Škoda Auto has halted production at its biggest plant and reduced production at another due to supply problems linked with the recent floods on Thursday. Škoda closed down production at its Mladá Boleslav plant in the early afternoon due to flood damage to a Czech plant which supplies car ceilings. Output has also been curtailed at its Vrchlabí plant. Normal production at Škoda Auto should resume on Monday.
