Following the break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of Bugatti's employees are now returning to the main factory in Alsace. They will be able to work on the hyper sports cars Chiron and Divo subject to strict conditions.

"We will do everything necessary to ensure that our employees are able to work safely. Wherever possible, they can still work from home to ensure that the minimum possible number of employees are on site at any one time," explains Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti.

A Bugatti task force has been working over recent weeks on specific rules of conduct for the restart, taking into consideration the legal requirements of the French government and recommendations from international experts.

Every employee will be given their own protective face mask on arrival at the Molsheim site. This must be worn at all times on the premises and in the work areas, even if a safety distance of 1.5m is also maintained and specified rules for washing hands are followed.

Contactless processing of incoming and outgoing goods wherever possible, as well as reduction of deliveries and maintenance to a minimum, will be as much a part of the new normal in the coming weeks as continued meetings via Skype.
