After a temporary 2-week shut-down, H-D resumes production

KUALA LUMPUR: On May 19, 2022, Harley-Davidson announced its plan to suspend all motorcycle assembly operations and shipments officially. The cause, the company said, concerned a supply chain issue.

Part of the two-week production line suspension was all H-D models, except LiveWire. As planned, the work was due to commence after 14 days; however, the halt lasted a bit longer than planned, with the work re-starting on June 6.

The news was confirmed by the Wall Street Journal and not the American motorcycle manufacturer. The international journal confirmed the H-D factory is now back in operation.

The production will commence at both the company’s plants in York, Pennsylvania and Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.

In other news, the premium US motorcycle manufacturer has finally unveiled the much-awaited LiveWire Del Mar electric bike. It is the first EV motorcycle to underpin the S2 Arro platform and is limited to just 100 units. The limited-edition model gets an exclusive Jasper Grey or Camet Indigo hues and a striking wheel design. As per H-D, the LiveWire Del Mar e-bike is exclusively hand-painted with the graphics requiring five days to complete.
