Lack Of Parts Limits Production And Truck Factories Produce On Sundays To Meet High Demand In Harvest Transportation
Although the lack of parts limits production, truck manufacturers have increased working hours in factories to meet the rising demand from harvest transportation. In other words, delays in supply have caused the lines to operate for longer hours, as no one wants to miss sales due to a lack of product.

After Ford Exits Brazil And Halts Car Production In Bahia, Camaçari Faces Factory ‘Demolition’ And 7,500 People Expected To Lose Their Jobs
After the announcement by the American multinational Ford to leave Brazil and halt car production in Camaçari, Bahia, auto parts companies located in the city are already working on the dismantling of their factories and around 7,500 people are expected to lose their jobs in the city.
The issue is that the direct suppliers of the American multinational do not believe in the arrival of another manufacturer to replace the automaker in the short term, and are focused on stopping immediate losses, such as personnel costs and warehouse rent. These companies are also negotiating with Ford a solution for the backlog of products and supplies.
7,500 People Expected To Lose Their Jobs In Camaçari – Bahia
These manufacturers employed more than 3,000 direct workers in Camaçari, Bahia. The number is not far from the 4,050 direct employees of Ford’s factory. Combined, the numbers indicate about 7,500 people expected to lose their jobs in the city.
The superintendent of the Federation of Industries of Bahia (Fieb), Vladson Menezes, says that these positions represent about 4% of industrial jobs in Bahia. Data from the Monthly Industrial Survey (PIA-IBGE) show that in 2018, Ford and its suppliers had 8,630 direct employees. The decline reflects the shrinking market share of the automaker in the Brazilian market.
