September 5, 2023: Volkswagen will reduce production in its Wolfsburg plant due to lack of engine parts as a result of flooding in Slovenia. “From September 11th, individual shifts in production will be canceled,” a Volkswagen spokesperson said in a statement. However, compared to other locations, production in Wolfsburg, the main plant is less affected. Volkswagen said last week that it will suspend production in its Portugal plant for two months. “The situation is of course annoying because the order situation, especially for the combustion engine models at the main plant, recently looked so good that we were even heading for special shifts,” said a spokesman for the works council. “Unfortunately, the new bottleneck now prevents processing.”<ref>https://www.automobilwoche.de/agenturmeldungen/vw-drosselt-wegen-teilemangels-produktion-wolfsburg</ref> The Wolfsburg plant has a production capacity of 750,000-800,000 vehicles a year<ref>https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/wolfsburg-plant-the-heart-of-the-vw-brand-6811</ref>. | |||

The company did not specify which locations will be affected but it's expected that most locations to that produce combustion engine vehicles will be interrupted<ref>https://www.automobilwoche.de/agenturmeldungen/volkswagen-erwartet-produktionsausfalle-wegen-slowenien-hochwasser</ref>. | August 30, 2023: Volkswagen expects production losses in Germany due to floods in Slovenia.
