The boss of the Volkswagen group announced that the shortage of semiconductors had already made some 100,000 vehicles in the German giant "lose" in 2021 "losing" in 2021.A loss that will not be recovered at the end of the year.
The race for semiconductors is taking the same magnitude as that for vaccines: manufacturers are currently in rivalry to negotiate priority contracts with the manufacturers of these electronic compounds, already overwhelmed by the demand of the world of entertainment (Gamesvideo, digital) but also other areas such as medical.
Volkswagen has just explained to be in direct contact with certain suppliers to accelerate the resumption of production for the automobile, but as we had already mentioned, the recovery phase will be long.
And in the meantime, Volkswagen loses productivity.The boss of the group, Herbert Diess, has just announced that the VAG group had already lost 100,000 vehicles due to the semiconductor shortages.Losses that cannot be recovered by the end of the year, and which could even get worse: the inertia of the industrial machine of microprocessor manufacturers is such that they cannot open new production lineseasily.
