Hungarian Strike Forces Audi To Halt Production In Germany

The work stoppage at Audi’s Hungarian plant led to a shutdown in production in Ingolstadt on January 28, as Audi’s plant in Gyor has stopped delivering engines.

The week-long strike that began on January 24 continued on Monday, as wage talks ended without a deal between the Audi union and management.

Audi has been forced to pause production at its German headquarters, as the German carmaker uses just-in-time production and its inventories are not large. A spokesperson for the company said on Monday night that production will be ceased on Wednesday as well.
