BERLIN German auto parts supplier Continental AG said it expected worldwide vehicle production to decline up to 20% in the current quarter year-on-year and could not give a detailed 2020 guidance due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Hanover-based group said on Wednesday revenues, adjusted operating profit and free cash flow are expected to significantly decline this year.
