COVID-19: RENAULT TRUCKS INTERRUPTS THE ACTIVITY OF ITS PLANTS IN FRANCE

March 16, 2020, 7:50 PM – In order to protect its employees and contribute to the measures requested by the French government to limit the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the truck manufacturer Renault Trucks has announced the exceptional closure of its four production sites until further notice.

The Renault Trucks production sites in Lyon, Bourg-en-Bresse, Blainville-sur-Orne and Limoges, which have 4,500 employees, will be closed until further notice, depending on the development of the health situation.

For employees of sales and research & development entities, the company has implemented a home office protocol in order to guarantee business continuity.

Because the role of transporters is essential to supply healthcare establishments and essential businesses, the 24/7 breakdown service and repair workshops will continue to operate.
