MAN Truck & Bus is warning of considerable delays for new MAN trucks following a shortage of wiring harnesses caused by the war in Ukraine, and is offering its customers the option of cancelling orders.
In a statement the truck maker said the harnesses, which are normally manufactured in Ukraine, can only be produced to a very limited extent. Although immediately after the outbreak of war it took measures “to duplicate Ukrainian supply structures for truck wiring harnesses in other countries” this takes several months. As a result, as of 14 March production has been at a standstill at its Munich and Krakow plants.
It continued: “This threatens a loss of truck production for several weeks and a massive reduction in production in the second quarter.”
Up to 11,000 MAN employees in Germany will go on short-time work, with the Executive Board also taking significant wage cuts over the next three months.
