“In response to the uncertain situation in European markets, Ford Romania continues to adjust production volumes in Craiova and will halt production for 13 days in October,” Ford said in a statement.
It said the weak market demand could cause further stoppages during the last two months of 2013.
“The B-Max remains the best sold mini MPV in Europe and we are confident these measures will be temporary,” Ford said.
Ford produces its B-Max model in Craiova and the 1-liter and 1.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
The US carmaker employs around 3,500 staff in Romania.
Ford became the main shareholder in the Craiova-based plant in 2007, after it bought a 72.4% stake from the Romanian state in exchange for EUR57 million. Ford later increased its stake to over 90%.
