On Thursday, Volkswagen announced that it had resolved a major IT outage overnight and its global production network had returned to full operations, which allowed production to proceed as planned.
A spokesperson for the company said it was in the process of restarting all of the affected applications.
The spokesperson said, “Individual systems may still be affected during a transitional phase,” adding that there was still no evidence indicating that the disruption was the result of any external actors.
On Wednesday, the automaker had been hit by a major IT outage which had brought all production at the namesake brand of the company in Germany to a standstill.
The company said that an unspecified “IT malfunction of network components” had afflicted the company’s site in Wolfsburg Germany, home to its global headquarters, with the outage also afflicting sites in Emden, Osnabrueck, Hanover, Dresden and Zwickau, and component factories in Braunschweig, Kassel, Chemnitz and Salzgitter.
According to the automaker, the entire Volkswagen group, including the Porsche AG, and Audi brands, was affected by the outage.
