Detroit’s automakers are gearing up for full production as they race to make up for lost output and meet stronger-than-expected demand.

Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said Friday they will resume pre-pandemic manufacturing schedules at their U.S. plants from June 22. General Motors Co. has said it aims to be back to normal output levels by month’s end.
