Parts Shortage Disrupts Audi A4, A5 Production in Germany

Audi AG is suspending production of its A4 and A5 sedans in Ingolstadt, Germany, for four days this week because of a parts shortage, according to news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur.

The report says Audi expects to resume output on Thursday when a supplier of trim recovers from a plant fire. Audi’s Ingolstadt complex normally assembles a combined 1,400 A4 and A5 cars per day.

The factory also makes A3 small sedans and Q2 and Q5 crossover vehicles, whose output hasn’t been affected. Audi says the disruption at Ingolstadt has not affected A4 and A5 production at the company’s Neckarsulm factory.
