| TPCA latest automaker to resume production in Czech Republic |
| Prag, 26.05.2020 |
|
| After a shutdown lasting more than two months, carmaker Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile (TPCA) relaunched operations at its plant in the Central Bohemian town of Kolín on Monday. Capacity will be increased gradually and TPCA staff are receiving special training.
TPCA, which has been based in Kolín since 2005, was forced to halt production on 18 March due to the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic in the Czech Republic.
At 6 am on Monday its factory began a gradual return to action, with plans to produce around 300 vehicles a day initially. By Friday it should have reached full capacity of 900 a day, spokesman Tomáš Paroubek said.
Initially TPCA will be running two shifts a day. The restart is accompanied by dozens of measures and staff were due to undergo special hygiene training on Monday.
Special thermal cameras monitor workers’ temperatures as they arrive at the plant. If there are signs of elevated temperatures they must then undergo a second test with a non-contact thermometer. Lunch breaks are 10 minutes longer than previously and tables are set apart from one another.
All 2,500 or so workers returned to TPCA on Monday, including non-nationals, who make up at least a tenth of the workforce. Most foreign employees, including Ukrainians, have remained in the country through the crisis, Mr. Paroubek said.
Staff initially received 85 percent of their salaries during the lockdown and 80 percent from the start of May.
