Coronavirus Epidemic Affects Production at Airbus, Hyundai and Other OEMs
BEIJING—Airbus has shut down a factory in China that accounts for almost 10 percent of the production of its most popular jet, as precautions taken to contain the coronavirus outbreak ricochet across global industries.
Hyundai Motor Co. has idling all seven of its plants in South Korea because of a lack of parts from suppliers in China. It was the first big auto maker to shut down production outside of China because of supply-line bottlenecks resulting from widespread factory outages and strict limits on worker movements in China.
