No cars will be produced at Audi Brussels on Tuesday due to an ongoing supplier strike, Audi Brussels spokesperson Peter D’hoore confirmed.

"Production remains suspended today due to a shortage of parts," D’hoore stated. "Production will resume as soon as supplies are received."

For over two weeks, almost no cars have been made at the Forest plant, with the exception of a brief period on Monday morning last week. An Audi supplier has gone on strike and halted the delivery of car parts.

The looming closure of the Brussels plant is also costing jobs at suppliers. At Imperial Logistics, a supplier, the workforce has gone on strike due to the lack of a social plan.
