Another epidemic continues to extend around the world and it is that of the lack of microprocessors.It affects very many industries and the automobile is also strongly impacted.So far rather spared, the French groups Renault and Stellantis must now slow their production, for lack of parts.
Renault and Stellantis are the last car groups to suspend some of their production sites because of the global shortage of microprocessors.The diamond group will thus break on pause for two to three days this week its Sandouville sites which assembles utilities, of Tangier, in Morocco, from which certain Dacia and Renault come out for Africa and the Middle East,and Pitsti, in Romania, the main factory of the Dacia.
Same bell sound on the side of Stellantis.The brand new group formed by PSA and FCA must indeed suspect the production of its sites in Eisenach, Germany, which builds Opels, and Zaragoza, Spain, where the cousins Opel Crossland X and Citroën C3 Aicross are born.Regarding Poissy, from where Peugeot and DS come from, the decision could be made in the coming days.Finally, Jeep and Fiat are also spared since the Melfi factory in Italy should also get out of.
The two French groups are added to the now long list of manufacturers affected by this crisis where we already find Ford, Toyota or Volkswagen, all sorely missing from these microprocessors that we find in particular in the electronic management of cars as wellthat in driving aid systems and which are mainly produced in Asia.
It has been determined that the shortage could lead to an overall production drop of 672,000 units in the first quarter and that one could feel the effects until the third.As a reminder, its origin is linked to the Pandemic of COVID-19 which generated a very strong increase in computers and mobile phones.
