Lack of parts causes Scania to halt production at São Bernardo do Campo unit

Scania is to halt all production of trucks and buses at its São Bernardo do Campo (SP) unit. The stoppage will initially be from March 30 to April 13, when 3,500 of the Swedish manufacturer’s employees will take collective vacation.

Scania’s Latin American head, Christopher Podgorski, said “I cannot answer if we are really going to return on the 13th.” The main reason for the stoppage is the lack of parts. The automaker receives components from Brazil and abroad.  According to the executive, it is receiving parts as normal from its own factories abroad, but there is already a lack of parts from suppliers in other parts of Europe, such as Spain and France as well as some manufacturers in Brazil.
