VW cuts production over chips
Print Edition
German car giant Volkswagen will slash production at its main plant due to ongoing problems with the global supply of computer chips.
Following the summer holidays for workers in Germany, work on the assembly line at the company鈥檚 facility in Wolfsburg will be 鈥渓imited鈥 and will have to 鈥渁dapt to the supply situation,鈥 a spokesman said.
Next week, cars will only be produced during the early shift at the factory, while the rest of production will be halted.
Shortages of semiconductors are set to continue, according to the carmaker.
The renewed scarcity is in part the result of 鈥渙utbreaks of COVID-19, particularly in Malaysia, which have led to factory closures for semiconductor producers,鈥 Volkswagen said.
However, the company said it hoped 鈥渁s far as possible鈥 to make up the setbacks in production over the course of the second half of the year.
Last week, the Volkswagen-owned car brand Audi also said that it would be delaying the resumption of production on some of its lines in Germany due to the 鈥渧olatile鈥 supply situation.
Carmakers have been among those most acutely affected by the shortage of chips, key components in both electric and conventional vehicles.
