News agency dpa reported that the automaker on August 23 said the suppliers will quickly resume deliveries. No details were released.
Volkswagen said last week that it would have to suspend production of the Golf and Passat at the Wolfsburg and Emden plants in Germany for around a week because the suppliers weren’t delivering parts. The dispute pitted Volkswagen against suppliers ES Automobilguss and Car Trim, and affected supplies of gearbox parts and seat covers.
Sources say the suppliers were seeking compensation for lost revenue after VW cancelled a contract. The automaker has been looking to cut costs from suppliers to help stem the bleeding after its emissions scandal
Volkswagen said Monday that 27,700 workers at six plants in Germany were affected by the dispute.
