Volkswagen said that it has postponed the start of production at all Chinese plants that it runs in partnership with China’s SAIC, the joint venture between Volkswagen and Saic Motor Corp, due to concerns over the coronavirus outbreak.

The German carmaker, which operates 33 plants in various locations in China, on Tuesday cited “supply-chain and logistical,” issues among some of the reasons for the delay.
