Škoda Auto suspends production after Slovenia floods cause shortage

Carmaker Škoda Auto will suspend production at its plant in Kvasiny in Northeast Bohemia for at least a week from Monday after production at an engine parts supplier in Slovenia was hit by flooding, a spokesperson for Škoda Auto said on Friday.

The firm will probably also partially limit production in Mladá Boleslav due to the situation, which has hit the whole Volkswagen group. A union representative said the restrictions pertained to all models except the all-electric Enyaq.
