ZWICKAU, Germany—German automaker Volkswagen restarted production on Thursday at its plant in Zwickau, where its crucial mass-market electric vehicle is being made ahead of its launch later this year.
The company said the plan was “health before production numbers” as the assembly line started up after a five-week closure under new health rules agreed with worker representatives that include wearing face protection where a 6-foot distance can’t always be observed. Other measures include regular cleanings. Distancing is required in washrooms, changing rooms, and lunchrooms.
