  • The carmaker originally planned a restart on March 30, after suspending production last week in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

On Tuesday, Ford announced that after shutting down all North American production last week, it wouldn’t restart factories at the end of March as originally planned.

The decision comes as the coronavirus pandemic spreads globally and places extraordinary stress on hospitals are outbreak regions.

“In light of various governments’ orders to stay and work from home, Ford is not planning to restart our plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico on Monday, March 30 as originally hoped,” Ford North Americas president Kumar Galhotra said in a statement.

“We are assessing various options and working with union leaders – including the United Auto Workers and Unifor – on the optimal timing for resuming vehicle production, keeping the well-being of our workforce top of mind,” he added. (Unifor is the Canadian auto workers union.)
