The Detroit automakers on Monday started producing vehicles in the U.S. for the first time since late-March, but there are no guarantees that they’ll be able to continue to successfully do so while the coronavirus pandemic continues to kill thousands of people every day in the U.S.
The reopening of plants for General Motors, Ford Motor and Fiat Chrysler will test their capital-strained supply chains, coronavirus safety protocols and consumer demand. All three must be in tact for any hope of a steady recovery for the U.S. auto industry.
