MEXICO CITY - German automaker Volkswagen will temporarily close its factories in Mexico’s Puebla and Guanajuato states in a bid to preserve public health, the company’s Mexican unit said in a statement on Friday, amid growing worries over the spread of the coronavirus.The company also pointed to slowing demand and the risk of shortages of parts as factors in the decision to suspend production in the factories.
Another German carmaker also with operations in Mexico, BMW, said in a statement late on Friday that it would extend an already-scheduled Easter stoppage at its factory in San Luis Potosi state.The two automakers’ decisions follow other measures taken broadly by companies in Mexico, including an emphasis on working from home if possible as well as restrictions on travel and in-person group meetings.
