WOLFSBURG (dpa-AFX) - The storm low Elli is now also slowing down production at VW in Wolfsburg: Due to snow-covered roads, not enough parts are arriving from suppliers, leading to the cancellation of one of the three planned late shifts at the main plant. Only Golf production is affected, which will start the weekend early. According to Volkswagen, production of the Tiguan, Touran, and Tayron models will continue on two lines.

In Emden, VW had already proactively halted production completely. A scheduled rest day for the end of January in Emden has been moved up to this Friday. The site employs more than 8,000 staff members./fjo/DP/nas
