Stellantis NV has thousands of cars stuck at its Sochaux plant in eastern France as logistics problems that impacted the maker of Peugeot 3008 SUVs last quarter persist.
“There are big problems to deliver new vehicles,” Jerome Boussard, a CGT labor union representative at the factory close to the border with Switzerland, said Tuesday. “We had about 4,000 of them stuck in our parking lots and even outside the site as of noon yesterday.”
