Production of the Audi Q4 e-tron is restarting at VW's Zwickau plant.
FRANKFURT-- Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would resume car production at its German EV factories in Dresden and Zwickau from next week, sooner than it had planned.
VW said last month after Russia invaded Ukraine that it would halt production at the factories because of difficulties in getting parts made in Ukraine, especially wire harnesses.
Zwickau is Volkswagen's most important European EV production location. It builds the VW ID3, VW ID4, VW ID5, Audi Q4 etron and Cupra Born full-electric cars.
The Dresden factory also builds the ID3.
Earlier this week VW said has resumed production at its factory in Bratislava, Slovakia, after a two-day stoppage because of supply constraints. The huge plant builds VW Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7 and Q8 SUVs, as well as the VW Up, Seat Mii and Skoda Citigo minicars
The automaker is also ramping up production of the VW Golf in Wolfsburg faster than originally planned as the supply situation stabilizes.
Leoni, a key supplier of wire harnesses, said on Wednesday that it is ramping up production at its two plants in Ukraine -- with workers operating under a nighttime curfew and the risk of rocket attacks.
