Porsche has announced it will resume production at its 911 model plants in Zuffenhausen, Germany on Monday. The reopening comes after a gas explosion in the paint-spraying unit at the plant closed it down.
Porsche has said the explosion was due to a technical defect. The explosion caused several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage, but Porsche said it’s covered by insurance.
The automaker said it will recover from the production delay of about 800 911s throughout the business year.
