BERLIN -- Volkswagen is ramping up production at its main plant in Wolfsburg, Germany, starting from next week, after a two-week pause caused by parts shortages due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The automaker will resume some output of the Golf hatchback on Tuesday, a company spokesperson told Automotive News Europe.
Initially, production will start with one shift, rising to a two-shift operation a week later.
Production of the VW Touran and Tiguan and Seat Tarraco models will be at reduced levels during March, with workers on short time, VW said.
VW, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been forced to cut production at their German factories after the Ukraine war disrupted supplies of key wire harnesses built in Ukraine.
