REUTERS/Phil NobleCREWE, England, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's (VOWG_p.DE) Bentley expects a slight drop in production in 2023 as shutdowns in China have slowed orders, the British luxury carmaker's chief executive said on Wednesday.
"We're not talking about a massive drop off... we have more than half (of next) year sold out already," Hallmark said at the Bentley headquarters in Crewe, England.
Bentley will make around 15,000 cars this year and has been running at maximum capacity at the Crewe factory.
Hallmark said initially some Bentley customers who favour its big combustion-engine models will refuse to go electric, but most will embrace the power.
