Looks like delays might be right ahead
From today's Wall street Journal;
“Volkswagen AG and its brands Audi, Skoda, and sports-car maker Porsche, are among the hardest hit by the sudden cessation of business in Russia and the lack of vital parts from suppliers in Ukraine.
After idling two factories in eastern Germany, VW has said production would soon be affected at its flagship plant in western Germany because of missing parts from Ukraine.
When the war in Ukraine began, dozens of auto parts makers shut down their factories in the country. Although Ukraine has a small car parts industry, it has become a key supplier of wiring harnesses that are needed to organize a car’s wiring and connect its various components.
Porsche, which is owned by VW, has halted production at its factory in Leipzig, where it builds the Panamera sedan and Macan sport-utility vehicle. Interruption of production at the plant could slow Porsche’s ability to deliver the popular models to customers world-wide.”
