Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio said on Saturday it has suspended production after its suppliers disrupted operations following measures to stem the country’s recent surge of COVID-19 cases.
The company said on its mobile app, “Since March, due to reasons related to the epidemic, the company’s supplier partners in many places including Jilin, Shanghai and Jiangsu have suspended production one after the other and have not yet recovered.” “
“Its effect has caused Nio to stop production of the car.”
The company said the company will suspend the delivery of EVs to users and will work closely with suppliers to resume while meeting the government’s COVID restrictions.
China is taking strict lockdown measures to prevent the spread of the highly infectious Omikron variant in several places, including Jilin province and Shanghai, where plants of major auto part makers and automakers are located.
Tesla has also suspended production at its Shanghai plant from March 28, Reuters reported, after the city began a two-stage lockdown that was later extended across the city.
Volkswagen’s joint venture plant with FAW Group in Jilin’s provincial capital Changchun has been closed since mid-March, while its plant in Shanghai with SAIC Motor has been closed since April 1.
