Mercedes-Benz, VW are stopping exports to Russia
By Kim Richters and Joshua Kirby German car makers Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Volkswagen AG are stopping exports of vehicles to Russia and are ceasing Russia-based production until further notice, as a rising number of companies withdraw business from the country after it invaded Ukraine.
"All affected employees in Russia will receive short-time working benefits, paid by Volkswagen," the car maker said on Twitter on Thursday. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz said late Wednesday that is suspending the export of passenger cars and vans to Russia, and halting local manufacturing. It said it is still working with suppliers in Ukraine, which provide components for the production of its vehicles, and is closely monitoring the situation.
