US Automakers Face New Headaches as Global Supply Chain Crisis Deepens. In a move that may provide temporary relief to the embattled automotive industry, Novelis, a leading aluminum producer, has announced it is resuming output for Ford trucks. The decision comes as the global supply chain crisis continues to wreak havoc on manufacturers, with BASF, a key supplier to the industry, warning of impending shortages. The shortage of critical components and materials has already forced several major automakers to halt production, and the situation is expected to worsen in the coming months. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Novelis' move will be enough to mitigate the impact on Ford's production lines.
