Suzuki Motor's production plant in Hungary will suspend output this week of its Vitara and S-CROSS models, the Reuters news agency quoted a company statement on Monday.
The production halt between January 15 and 21 comes after automakers Tesla and announced suspensions in Europe in the second half of last week, in a sign that attacks on shipping in the Red Sea are hitting manufacturers in the region.
Suzuki, in an e-mail statement to Reuters, said that the halt is due to delays in the shipment of Japanese-made engines.
The plant, located in the town of Esztergom, northwest of Budapest plans to resume manufacturing from January 22.
