Suzuki suspends production at Hungary car plant due to Red Sea attacks

TOKYO -- Suzuki Motor has suspended production at a Hungarian car plant for seven days through Jan. 21, the company said Tuesday. That comes amid delays in the delivery of engines and other parts from Japan as a recent wave of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea disrupts global logistics.

The suspension will stop output of the Vitara, which is sold in Japan as the Escudo, and the S-Cross, at Suzuki's factory in the northern Hungarian town of Esztergom. Both models are sport utility vehicles.
