FRANKFURT, Aug 20 — German car giant Volkswagen will slash production at its main plant due to ongoing problems with the global supply of computer chips, a spokesman told AFP today.

Earlier this week, the Volkswagen-owned car brand Audi also said that it would be delaying the resumption of production on some of its lines in Germany due to the “volatile” supply situation.

Yesterday, Japanese company Toyota, the world’s largest carmaker, announced that it would be reducing production in September by 40 per cent.
