The global auto industry operates on tight supply lines. The outbreak has disrupted the supply of parts for Hyundai, the company said. “Hyundai Motor has decided to suspend its production lines from operating at all of its plants in [South] Korea,” the automaker said in a statement. The outbreak has disrupted the procurement of auto parts called wiring harnesses, which are mostly produced at Hyundai’s assembly lines in China. Yesterday’s move came after Hyundai canceled overtime factory hours at the weekend to produce its flagship Palisade sport utility vehicle.
