Ford aims to restart North American auto production in mid-May

摘要

Ford is targeting a phased restart of its North American operations beginning May 18, including restarting vehicle production in North America and bringing back a first wave of employees that are not able to do their jobs remotely, the company said Thursday. In the phased restart, Ford’s North American parts depots will resume full operations on May 11. On May 18, Ford’s North American assembly plants previously operating on three-shift patterns will return with two shifts, most two-shift plants will return on one shift and most one-shift plants will operate on one shift, Ford said.
