DETROIT: Global auto and truck makers, including US automaker General Motors Co and Germany's Daimler Truck, on Monday suspended some business in Russia following that country's invasion of Ukraine.
The Detroit company does not have plants in Russia, only sells about 3,000 vehicles annually there and has limited supply-chain exposure. In a statement, the company said it had made the decision because of"potential risks associated with trading material with Russia, including the sanctions imposed by the EU and US."A Volvo spokesman said the carmaker exports vehicles to Russia from plants in Sweden, China and the United States.Also on Monday, Volkswagen in Russia temporarily suspended deliveries of cars to dealers until further notice.
Daimler Truck said on Monday it would freeze its business activities in Russia with immediate effect, including its cooperation with Russian truck maker Kamaz , which is 47% owned by Russian state conglomerate Rostec. Mercedes-Benz Group, formerly Daimler AG, was the parent company of Daimler Truck before the truck maker was spun off.
"We now have a bit more clarity on sanctions and security in the region ... this means all operations in Russia end," a company spokesman told Reuters, adding the measures would apply until further notice.Ford, which has a 50% stake in three Russian plants, previously said it was working to manage any impacts on its operations but its primary focus was the safety of its employees in the region.
