Automakers are taking steps to help boost production of key medical equipment necessary to help combat the spread of the coronavirus.
General Motors and Tesla are devoting resources to help solve the nation's shortage of ventilators, which are critically needed to treat COVID-19. Ford Motor is also weighing plans to do so.
It was not immediately clear how quickly the automakers could ramp up production on ventilators.
President Donald Trump on Sunday hailed the companies, which have temporarily shut down American automotive capacity.
"Ford, General Motors and Tesla are being given the go ahead to make ventilators and other metal products, FAST!" he said on Twitter. "Go for it auto execs, lets see how good you are?"
