Fehlende Teile zwingen BMW zu Schichtausfällen
BMW is cancelling shifts at its Regensburg, Leipzig and Oxford plants because of short-term external parts shortages, and has not quantified the lost output.
- Three plants hit — Regensburg, Leipzig and Oxford — according to company sources.
- BMW cites short-term bottlenecks in external parts supply; declines to say which parts or why.
- One cancelled shift can affect a few hundred cars, and such losses are often made up later.
