Temporary halt of production in Kragujevac due to components from China

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Friday it had temporarily halted production at its Serbian plant, the first such suspension by an automaker in Europe in response to the coronavirus outbreak in China, Reuters reports.

Planned downtime at the Kragujevac plant in Serbia, where FCA builds its Fiat 500L car, has been rescheduled “due to availability of certain components sourced in China”, a spokesman for the Italian American automaker said.

Production at Serbia’s Karagujevac plant would restart this month, an FCA spokesman said, according to Reuters.
