Affected by the coronavirus, Ford's factory in Europe will stop production.

Recently, Ford officially issued a statement saying that due to the virus epidemic, Ford's main manufacturing plants in Europe will stop production on March 19, and the suspension period is not clear. The shutdown time will be affected by the development of epidemic situation, national epidemic prevention policy, supplier capacity and inventory.

Novel coronavirus has a great influence on the global automobile industry. Many automobile companies have to stop production temporarily because of the restrictions of national policies, and it is more and more difficult to purchase parts. These include well-known automobile groups such as Volkswagen's European factories, PSA Group's 15 European factories, and well-known super-running manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Ford officials said that due to employee benefits, missing parts and reduced sales, Ford expects the factory to be closed for several weeks from Thursday, March 19.
