Due to the acceleration observed in recent days of serious Coronavirus cases close to certain production sites, supply disruptions from major suppliers, as well as the sudden decline in the automobile markets, the chairman of the executive board of Groupe PSA, with the members of the crisis unit, decided the principle of the closure of the vehicle production sites, according to the following schedule and until March 27.
- March 16: Mulhouse (France), Madrid (Spain)
- March 17: Poissy, Rennes, Sochaux (France), Zaragoza (Spain), Eisenach, Rüsselsheim (Germany), Ellesmere Port (United Kingdom), Gliwice (Poland)
- March 18: Hordain (France), Vigo (Spain), Mangualde (Portugal)
- March 19: Luton (United Kingdom), Trnava (Slovakia)
The closure of the mechanical sites will be adjusted accordingly.
The site management teams will implement the site closure procedures locally, which will be done in coordination with the social partners.
Groupe PSA remind that until then, compliance with the barrier measures, going beyond the recommendations of the health authorities on the sites, are the best protection to prevent the spread of the virus.
