Volkswagen's Autoeuropa plant in Portugal will resume limited production in early October, sooner than expected, after it was halted on Sept. 12 due to a shortage of auto parts, a letter to workers seen by Reuters said. Autoeuropa, which mainly produces the T-Roc compact crossover sports utility model, had previously announced a nine-week stoppage between Sept. 11 and Nov. 12, after its Slovenian supplier was affected by floods. The company told workers the plant "will resume production at the beginning of October", adding that existing sub-suppliers in the Volkswagen Group's portfolio, including a Chinese and a Spanish company, would make up for some of the regular supplies.
