The shortage of chips, which since the last month of last year has led to a reduction and cessation of production of American automakers, has created new troubles these days and has led to their forced closure.
Khodrocar - The outbreak of the Corona virus and the forced shutdown of many chip factories and companies have caused the US auto industry to face a crisis with a shortage of this hardware these days. Accordingly, the shortage of chips continues and its dire effects continue to overshadow the automotive industry.
A number of car companies in the United States, such as General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, Hyundai, etc., which have formed the Alliance Group for Creativity in the Automotive Industry, are calling on the US Government to help address the global shortage of chips and semiconductors. Were.
This shortage has led to the production and supply of 1.28 million fewer cars compared to the same period last year, and this turbulent production trend is expected to continue.
In this context, US automakers have asked the Commerce Department for funding to help semiconductor manufacturers in the United States to increase production, which is certainly not possible without congressional approval.
In February, US President Joe Biden instructed some federal government agencies to address the chip shortage crisis. He has called for $ 37 billion in funding to help chip and semiconductor companies in the United States, but it has not yet been approved by Congress.
Ford is one of the automakers that is seeing its production lines shut down due to a shortage of semiconductor chips. This stop continues and additional shifts are currently canceled.
For a company like Ford, which has been America's best-selling carmaker for years, the chip problem is no longer easy to maintain, while five other Ford plants in North America, including assembly plants in Kansas and Chicago, are short of chips. Are affected.
Until a few months ago, no one was unaware of the importance of semiconductor chips in new cars, but the fact is that these small parts play a vital role in the proper control and operation of an important part of car parts.
In fact, the lack of chips is one of the effects of the global shutdown due to the delay in the spread of the corona virus. The chip makers were forced to shut down their production lines altogether to prevent deaths from the Corona virus.
At that time, foreign suppliers, most of them in China, had to make up for the shortfall, and due to the growing demand for laptops, tablets and smartphones, the problem of chip shortages and semiconductor processors. Simplicity is not solved.
It is not yet possible to accurately estimate the extent of the damage caused by the chip shortage, but its effects will certainly be reflected in the financial balance sheet and quarterly reports of automakers.
