Volkswagen De Mexico To Stop Puebla Plant From Dec 20-Jan 12
Volkswagen de Mexico said in a statement that the extended vacation, which begins Dec. 20, is in keeping with what the company is doing at most plants worldwide.
A spokeswoman said the company expects the Puebla, Mexico, plant to have reached its 2008 production goal of 450,000 cars by then.
Last week, the plant surpassed its previous single-year record, set in 2000, of 425,700 cars produced. The spokeswoman said Volkswagen de Mexico plans to release its 2009 outlook in January.
The global economic slowdown and the U.S. crisis has meant falling demand for cars.
