Here is the translation by Google :

Hyundai Motor Company has extended the ‘shutdown’ of its St. Petersburg plant in Russia. In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the supply of parts continued to be disrupted. Hyundai Motor is considering temporarily transferring some of the semiconductor shipments allocated to its Russian plants to European and domestic plants for ‘production optimization’ and ‘process efficiency’.

According to the business community and Hyundai Mobis on the 9th, Hyundai Motor is examining the stock of parts at the local plant to minimize damage caused by the extension of the shutdown of the Russian plant, while considering the transfer of automotive semiconductors assigned to Russia to another plant.

Previously, Hyundai Motor Company temporarily suspended the operation of its St. Petersburg plant in Russia from the 1st to the 5th due to supply and demand problems for automotive semiconductors. After that, it was announced that it would restart on the 9th, but it was announced that it would be extended due to disruptions in the supply of parts.

Previously, Hyundai Motor Company temporarily suspended operations at its Russian plant from the 1st to 5th due to the shortage of semiconductors for vehicles. Hyundai Motor Company, which had originally planned to restart the factory from the 9th after the Russian Women’s Day holiday (6th to 8th), urgently revised the plan. A Hyundai Motor official said, “Currently, it is difficult to supply parts to Russia in a timely manner.
