Volkswagen, Porsche & BMW halt car production due to shortages as war continues in Ukraine

Many brands including Volvo, Volkswagen, Ford, Honda and Toyota have decided to stop exports of vehicles and motorcycles to the country.

VW, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis, who owns Vauxhall, will donate money to Ukraine assistance.

Some British BMW plants are currently closed and VW stopped production at its main plant in Wolfsburg as soon as Russian troops crossed into Ukraine.

Mercedes-Benz said that it had moved shifts around at some of its locations but that all its factories were running.
