The shortage of semiconductor chips used in automotive vehicles is forcing Ford Motor to cut production in July.
The U.S. automaker announced Wednesday that it will reduce production at eight North American plants, six of which are in the U.S. The auto plants will be operating at a reduced rate until early August.
The chip shortages are mostly due to slowed production due to the pandemic, with car companies and home appliances being hit the hardest. There is a large enough stockpile of unfinished 2021 Ford Super Duty pickup trucks parked outside the factory to be able to see them from space, according to a photo from The Drive.
