The global shortage of electronic flea in the automotive world has had important consequences for most major manufacturers.The German government has decided to take up the file by asking Taiwan to act.
The shortage of microprocessors has severe consequences for certain manufacturers who today encounter shortages, forcing them to slow down the production rate, or even to close assembly lines.And the problem is obviously not about to resolve itself, since the electronics industry had not really predicted such a rebound in the global demand.
The "flea crisis" led the government to act in favor of its industry.According to the German press, the Minister of the Economy, Peter Altmaier, wrote a letter to the Taiwanese government, in this case Wang Mei-Hua (Minister of the Economy) and Shen Jong-Chin (Vice-Prime Minister).Approached by the VDA (Association of Manufacturers in Germany), the Minister thus addressed his official asian counterparts to "ask for assistance" to solve the supply problems.
