Volkswagen risks production blocks in 2021 – Auto World

2021 could start uphill for Volkswagen Group which will have to face some supply problems that could lead the Wolfsburg giant to review its production plans for the first months of next year. Problem with VW could be the lack of semiconductors, with the risk that bottlenecks are created with regard to the delivery of components, thus leading to delays in business plans at least for the first quarter of 2021.

Volkswagen would already have factories around the world alerted, with some sources even speaking of production delays affecting millions of cars globally. To report the news is Bloomberg. Among the first to report the problem there would have been Continental AG, the second European manufacturer of car components and among the main suppliers of Volkswagen, which stressed that production interruptions linked to the absence of semiconductors cannot be excluded.

“Due to the usual long lead times in the semiconductor industry, the additional volumes required will only be available with a considerable delay”, the German manufacturer said in a statement. “The restrictions will extend until 2021”. Bosch meanwhile, he made it known that he was in constant contact with his suppliers in order to guarantee the delivery of components without delays. As for the other car manufacturers, BMW would not have foreseen any production problems even if the Munich brand has made it known that it is in constant contact with partner companies. Mercedes is also on the same wavelength, which at the moment has not said that it is worried about possible delays in supplies. After a particularly difficult year, 2021 is also starting to climb for the automotive sector as it prepares for a transition season, as also claimed by Volkswagen itself.
