Overview

  • The factory suspended the Tuesday afternoon shift on System 2 due to parts shortages linked to wildfire-related road closures and supplier disruption.
  • Management told workers the stoppage is limited to that day for now, with the van line expected to resume Wednesday morning.
  • Autoneum said it is assessing damage at its A Rúa facility and using its European production network to maintain deliveries, as it normally sends more than a dozen trucks of carpets and soundproofing to Vigo each day.
  • Stellantis is reallocating tasks in paint and ironwork shops and adjusting CKD workshop planning to keep output balanced during the shortfall.
  • System 2 builds Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Combo and Fiat Doblò models and accounts for over half of daily production, while System 1 remains unaffected for now.
