DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is cutting production as U.S. demand for new vehicles slows, but so far, its rivals aren’t doing the same.
Ford said Tuesday it will temporarily idle four of its North American assembly plants this month to better align production with demand.
After six straight years of growth, U.S. sales of new vehicles are slowing. In the first nine months of this year, U.S. sales totaled 13.1 million new vehicles, up less than 1 percent from 2015.
