PRAGUE—Skoda Auto started a two-week outage on Monday as the carmaker contends with the global shortage of chips and other components, the Vokswagen-owned company said.
Skoda wants to complete 10,000 unfinished cars during the outage, which will leave only one production line running, a spokesman said.
