BERLIN (AP) -- Volkswagen AG says it will put about 60,000 workers in Germany on shorter hours for five days next week.
Volkswagen says in a statement Tuesday that the shorter hours will apply from Feb. 23 through Feb. 27 as it adapts production to demand.
It says about two-thirds of the car maker's 92,000 employees in Germany will be affected.
The company says some areas, such as component production and research and development, will be exempted.
