In late March, Navistar International announced it was suspending production at its truck assembly plant in Springfield, Ohio, for at least two weeks in response to supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19. However, the manufacturer stated yesterday production won’t resume until Monday, April 27.
Additionally, Navistar also is temporarily suspending manufacturing operations at its engine assembly plant in Huntsville, Ala., and truck assembly plant in Escobedo, Mexico. Production will resume at both locations Monday, April 13, according to Navistar.
“Navistar recognizes the essential role of the commercial vehicle industry in support of the transportation infrastructure and remains dedicated to providing quality service and support to customers to keep critical goods moving during this uncertain time,” the company states. “The IC Bus Manufacturing Plant in Tulsa, Okla., and all Navistar service facilities and parts distribution centers are currently continuing regular operations.”
