N.A. plants take a pause
on new factory cuts
At least for the moment, North American auto plants appear to have
stabilized their vehicle production schedules somewhat in the face of
the worldwide semiconductor shortage, according to the most recent
vehicle production estimates from AutoForecast Solutions.
North American factories cut just 9,075 additional vehicles out of
their production plans as the supply crisis enters its fourth quarter, according
to new AFS data. That compares with nearly 214,000 vehicles
one week earlier. So far this year, the region's auto plants have cut production
plans by more than 2.9 million vehicles.
The newest estimate from AFS forecasts that the industry could lose
10.3 million vehicles from planned production before the crisis ends.
Meanwhile, Europe was the worst-hit region, with auto plants there
cutting 77,000 additional vehicles out of their schedules. Ford, Stellantis
and Volkswagen said they would reduce production at plants there.

Dealers race to
restock empty lots
GM executives said they think the
continued from Page 1
third quarter was the worst of the crisis
for the company, and nearly all of
its North American plants are scheduled
to be back online this week after
numerous lengthy shutdowns.
Still, analysts expect the industry to
have more difficulty keeping up with
consumer demand during the fourth
quarter, particularly in October, as
the chip shortage persists.
'Pretty long road'
" There's probably more downside
risk still because of the multitude of
issues going on between port problems,
transport problems, getting
workers in plants, other parts shortages,
chips, " said Jeff Schuster, LMC Automotive's
president of the Americas
operations and global vehicle forecasting.
" We've got a pretty long road
before the industry gets out of this. "
The inventory crunch drove U.S.
light-vehicle sales down more than
10 percent in the third quarter among
automakers that reported results last
week. Ford Motor Co., which also has
been disproportionately hurt by the
chip
shortage, reports
sales
this
week, as do Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land
Rover. Automakers and
dealers are preparing for a tough
month as manufacturers continue to
add plant downtime. LMC now expects
15 million U.S. light-vehicle
sales this year, compared with 14.6
million last year. For 2022, the firm is
forecasting 15.7 million.
For dealers, the crisis has turned
the usual sales race into a race to restock
empty lots.
" Worrying about selling cars is not
an issue anymore. It's more about
acquiring cars, " said John Malishenko,
COO of Germain Motor Co.,
which has dealerships in Michigan,
Ohio and Florida and saw new-vehicle
sales
decline 22 percent
month.
Tsunami lessons
Bob Carter, head of sales for Toyota
Motor North America, said the Japanese
automaker has been helped by
strong supplier relations and adjustments
it made after the 2011 Japan
earthquake and tsunami.
" What we learned from the earthquake
is we needed to carry more inventory
of slow moving parts - and
chips were one of the commodities
we identified early on, " Carter told
Automotive News via email.
With three months to go, the sales
race is difficult to predict, said Jessica
Caldwell, executive director of insights
for car-shopping
site Edmunds.
The market traditionally tilts
toward trucks more at the end of the
year, which should favor GM, she
said.
And Toyota has announced
sizable production cuts for October.
" I'd say it probably is up for grabs,
because we don't know how strong
Toyota will start, " Caldwell said last
week on Automotive News' Daily
Drive podcast. " Their surplus of inventory
has really dwindled down. "
Toyota, which historically has
worked with inventory levels slimmer
than GM, began October with
fewer than 100,000 vehicles either at
dealerships or in transit, the automaker
told Automotive News.
GM has 128,757 vehicles at dealerships
or on the way, but it has about
five times as many U.S. franchises to
spread its inventory across. A smaller
dealership network and fewer vehicle
combinations have given Toyota
an edge, said Cox Automotive's senior
economist, Charlie Chesbrough.
" Their sales are much more efficient, "
Chesbrough said. " There is a
little bit less complexity that they
have to deal with in this tight inventory
environment. " a
Larry P. Vellequette contributed to
this report.
