Ford Motor Co. expects its U.S. plants will come all the way back from coronavirus-related shutdowns within the next month, a top executive said.
The factories will be producing at levels they were prior to the COVID-19 outbreak by July 6, Chief Operating Officer Jim Farley said June 10 at the Deutsche Bank Global Auto Industry Conference. The manufacturing restart has been smooth, with Ford building about 96% of the volume it was planning for the first three weeks since its facilities came back online.
