Ford’s car production in Romania has been stopped for 13 working days in October and engine production will be halted as of November 18, company spokeswoman Ana-Maria Timis said Monday.
She said Ford Romania continues to adjust its production in Craiova in November as a result of the poor situation of the European market and will also halt the production of cars for 13 days in November.
During production halts, employees are sent on furlough with 80% pay.
Ford Romania officials announced late September the company would halt production for 13 days following low demand for B-Max on foreign markets and said the measure could be continued into November and December if the car market continued its decline.
Ford makes B-Max cars and EcoBoost engines in Craiova.
