The Poissy factory, which manufactures the city cars Peugeot 208 and DS 3, is stopped because of the restrictions of circulation which concern the trucks and the coaches in Ile-de-France, explains a spokesman of PSA. carry many employees of the plant can no longer circulate. In the same way the heavy goods vehicles that deliver or take away the spare parts do not have the right to ride either.
Same problem for Renault Flins, which manufactures the Clio but also the small electrical Zoe and the Nissan Micra. “There is a truck stop in Ile-de-France, no transport, no room, no room, no car,” says a spokeswoman for Renault.
The principle of just-in-time work, with parts “just in time” on the chains to avoid expensive stocks, makes these facilities very sensitive to any break in supply.
