According to the quoted source, all major car manufacturers have had to reduce their production in 2021, due to the semiconductor crisis for the car industry. Scania will stop production at its truck factories in Sweden, France and the Netherlands all week, Karin Hallstan, a spokeswoman for the Swedish company, said on Monday. The official informed that the activity of the plants in South America will be stopped next week, Agerpres reports.
Supply chain disruptions and a shortage of raw materials affect the operations of 70% of Swedish companies in the industrial sector, and 16% of companies have revised their production plans for the next six months, according to a study published on Monday by Silf / Swedbank.
Geely, the owner of Swedish carmaker Volvo Cars, announced a halt to production at a plant in Gothenburg, Sweden, this week, while Scania’s rival AB Volvo recently warned that production would be affected by the semiconductor crisis for the automotive industry.
Last month, the management of TSMC (the largest contact chip manufacturer in the world) gave assurances that the shortage of semiconductors facing the automotive industry will gradually attenuate for its customers, from the third quarter of 2021, but the problems related to production capacity could expand in 2022 as well. This shortfall has led US and European authorities to subsidize production.
