PRAGUE -- Skoda has temporarily cut 16 shifts this week as its parent Volkswagen Group deals with global chip shortages.
"Due to the lack of semiconductors in the supply chain of the whole VW Group, the company... also faces shortage of this particular component," Skoda said on Thursday. "Based on this, some adjustment of the car production flow can't be excluded."
Automakers around the world are shutting assembly lines due to the shortages of chips caused by the coronavirus crisis and competition from companies making electronic consumer goods.
VW Group has said chip supply bottlenecks will impact production at some of it's German plants in February.
The automaker said on Wednesday that it had applied for short-time work at its Wolfsburg car factory on some days of the month. It has also planned reduced working hours at its components factories in Kassel and Brunswick in February as a precautionary measure. Production at Emden, however, will not be affected, the company said.
