- We follow the support packages that the government has developed and those who are now short-term permits receive a salary deduction of 7.5 percent, says Ricky Carlsson, CEO and site manager for Scania Ferruform in Luleå.

What does it mean for staff to be short-term permits?

- At the moment it is about two weeks and then we will see.

What happens to the other 200 people who work with you?

- They are staff who do not work directly in production and we will now look at what should apply to them. We expect to announce it sometime next week.

He adds that the layoffs that are being done now are not due to any coronas infection but to logistics disruptions in Europe which means that the factory does not receive the materials they need to be able to continue their production.
