PSA Peugeot Citroen plans to idle its assembly plant in Trnava, Slovakia, for 21 days between now and year-end because of slumping demand in western Europe.
The factory makes the Citroen C3 Picasso mini MPV and Peugeot 208 small hatchback primarily for France, Germany, Italy and Spain. PSA has already suspended work at the facility for 12 days this year.
The Trnava plant has annual capacity of 300,000 vehicles but built only 177,000 units last year.
