According to Reuters, a spokesman for automaker Stellantis said that three European assembly plants of Stellantis had stopped production for several days due to a strike at a factory owned by the supplier MA France.
“three factories have stopped production since the beginning of the week,” the spokesman said.
Two of the factories are in France, Poissy and Hordain, and the other is in Luton, UK.
It is reported that the Aodan plant produces not only vans and mini buses for Stellantis, but also for Toyota.
In February, Stellantis announced that it would begin production of medium-sized electric vans at the Luton plant in 2025, including the Vauxhall Vivaro electric model, Peugeot E-Expert and Fiat Professional E-Scudo left and right rudder versions.

CLN did not immediately respond to a request for comment on reports of a strike by workers at the factory.
Brahim Aitathmane, president of Stellantis’s worker Power Union (Force Ouvriere), said workers at the factory were worried about plans to shift production to Poland.
A spokesman for Stellantis said the company hopes that ongoing negotiations with the factory will enable the factory to resume production as soon as possible.
Earlier this month, Stellantis’s Alfa Romeo brand launched its first all-electric car, the Milano, and plans to produce the new car at its Tychy plant in Poland.
However, the Italian government said the carmaker’s decision violated Italian law.
Subsequently, Stellantis renamed Milano to Junior to ease relations with the Italian government.
