Ford has moved to halt production of its sales-king in the US, the F-150 pickup, as demand for the model and others eases in its home market.
The carmaker will switch the lights off at plants in Kansas City three others for at least one week (more in some cases), and up to 13,000 workers will be forced to take temporary holidays.

Should sales return to normal this month, production at Ford’s Michigan plant should ensure sufficient supply of the F-150 is maintained.
