Electric car maker Tesla will suspend production of most vehicles at its plant near the German capital Berlin for a fortnight.
"Due to a lack of components, we are forced to suspend vehicle production at the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg between January 29 and February 11, with the exception of a few sub-areas," the company said in a statement.
The company attributed the shortage of components to changes in delivery routes due to the crisis in the Red Sea.
"The armed conflicts in the Red Sea and the associated shifts in transport routes between Europe and Asia via the Cape of Good Hope are also having an impact on production in Grünheide. The considerably longer transportation times are creating a gap in supply chains," Tesla said in a statement.
