Fiat-Chrysler mulls halting european plant on virus-related parts shortage

摘要

Rome—Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) on Friday warned one of its European plants could be forced to halt production in the coming weeks if the coronavirus outbreak continues to affect the capacity of Italy’s largest carmaker to source spare parts from Chinese suppliers. “If the situation in China continues to worsen, FCA has identified potential risk within the next two to four weeks at one manufacturing facility in Europe,” a company spokesman told S&P Global Platts. “The group will continue to monitor the situation and continues to develop contingency plans to support its global manufacturing.”
