Ford Romania spokesperson Ana-Maria Timis said that, although Ford B-Max remains one of the best-selling car models of its entire range, demand in Europe saw a decline. Timis also said Ford will continue to adjust its production volumes to market demand.
Engine production will also be halted in April, for three working days.
B-Max production was also halted temporarily in February and March.
End-November 2013, Ford decided to temporarily halt production at its plant in Craiova in December as well and employees were to return to work on January 6 in the engine division and January 8 on the B-Max assembly line. Last year, Ford Romania temporarily halted production in Craiova in September, October, and November as well.
The U.S. carmaker makes the B-Max car model and EcoBoost engines in Craiova.
