Renault is temporarily suspending production at its Mioveni plants in Romania from 19 March to 5 April, except for what it says are the most critical activities.

“The company anticipates commercial activity will be reactivated quickly after the crisis,” said a Renault statement.

“Once the crisis is over, appropriate measures will be implemented, in agreement with the social partners, enabling us to do what is necessary to meet the commercial demand.

“Employees and business partners will be informed about all key information regarding Groupe Renault Romania activities and restart of production through the company’s communication channels.”
