Chip shortage forces Ford to build trucks without computers
The Hindu
A global semiconductor shortage and a February winter storm have combined to force Ford to build F-150 pickup trucks without some computers.
The company says the pickups will be held at factories for “a number of weeks”, then shipped to dealers once computers are available and quality checks are done. The move is the latest ripple from the global semiconductor shortage, which earlier this week forced Honda and Toyota to announce production cuts at some North American factories. General Motors also has been forced to build pickups without some computers and install them later.More Related News
