April 3, 2020 USA Automotive Industry COVID-19 Impact Tracker
Situation summary OEM plant target re-open dates3)
Plant closures4)
> Sales forecast: IHS's latest forecast projects
14.5m vehicles sold in 2020 with COVID-19
having a 2.4m unit negative effect. This Apr
2nd projection is 0.9m vehicles below its Mar
19th estimate.
> Supply chain disruption: IHS indicates that
more than half of the Chinese plants have
resumed full capacity. North American
suppliers are gradually going into shutdown.
> OEM response: All OEMs have suspended
production in North America. Re-open dates
continue to be delayed, with Ford & GM
indefinitely suspending production in the US.
While no job cuts have yet been announced,
executives' pay is beginning to be cut (e.g.
Daimler) and furloughs may soon follow
(e.g., Ford).
> Supplier response: Suppliers have been
slower to fully or partially suspend US
manufacturing operations than OEM's. Many
are running at reduced capacity with OEM
demand halted but a gradual recovery in
demand from China. Many suppliers are
coming under pressure from the OEMs to
remain open and be able to ramp up
production on short notice.
> Government support: On March 28, Trump
signed the CARES Act relief package that
includes a payroll protection program for
small businesses, stimulus checks for
individuals as well as financial aid for big
corporations. For much smaller companies
support is also available through SBA loans
and Families First Coronavirus Response Act
(FFCRA) providing paid leave.
