Pandemic forces Renault to suspend production
In order to protect its employees and to contribute to the measures requested by the French government to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the French truck manufacturer Renault Trucks has closed its four French production plants in Lyon, Bourg-en-Bresse, Blainville-sur-Orne and Limoges.
To keep business running during the Covid-19 crisis, employees in the sales department and research & development will work from home, effective immediately. The 24/7 breakdown service and repair workshops will continue to operate. They support transport companies that play a decisive role in supplying healthcare institutions and food retailers, Renault Trucks said. (ben)
