The truck and bus manufacturer MAN is affected by a production outage lasting several weeks due to the Ukraine war. The company explained that this means short-time work for around 11,000 employees in Germany. In addition, an unspecified number of employees abroad are affected. The company, which belongs to the VW Group, has around 34,000 employees worldwide, 14,000 of them in Germany. According to MAN, there has been a standstill in the Munich and Krakow truck plants since March 14 and significant failures at the Nuremberg, Salzgitter and Wittlich sites. This threatens “a loss of truck production for several weeks and a significant reduction in production in the second quarter”. Bus production, on the other hand, is “not significantly affected”.
