A reader submits a very interesting observation in response to this earlier post:
German stoppage:
- BMW has halted production at two German factories;
- Mercedes is slowing work at its assembly plants;
- Volkswagen, warning of production stoppages, is looking for alternative sources for part
- Putin's War
- source here or go direct to ABCNews.
The reader's observation: is this a parts shortage or has electricity become prohibitively expensive to continued? The US does not have an electricity price or energy issue, but even so, there were news reports that several automotive plants in the US were set to shut down this week.
So, for Germany: probably both -- a parts problem as well as high-priced electricity.
