Washington –
A US congressional investigation released on Monday found that carmakers BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen had used parts from a Chinese supplier banned in the United States due to alleged ties to forced labor.
According to the Senate Finance Committee report, BMW had produced and imported vehicles with parts “suspected to be made with forced labor,” while Jaguar Land Rover imported parts with the same problems.
VW also made vehicles for the U.S. market with such components and has “ongoing business ties” with manufacturing in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region, the report said.
