American authorities found salvation from chip shortages in Asia. Three Democratic senators on August 18 wrote a letter to the Taiwanese government asking for additional assistance in solving the problem, due to which many American automotivers are forced to suspend production. About the request to save the American industry reports Reuters Agency.
Letter’s authors – Senator from Michigan Gary Peters and Senators from Ohio Debbie Stabeno and Sherrod Brown – pay attention to the increased demand, to satisfy that the American auto industry is not able to satisfy. “At the time when our manufacturers could introduce additional work shifts, they had to suspend or cut production. The United States is now the most affected region in the world,” they summarize.
Abbreviated production due to lack of chips followed the dismissal of people employed in the affected sector. Seriously suffered the economy of “car industry” states. Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy and the world’s largest microcircuit manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) refused to comment on the letter.
In July, the company announced a decrease in semiconductors deficit in this quarter. However, the lack of capacity for their production will be launched, probably until 2022.
In China, the production of microcircuits and semiconductors record almost one and a half times compared with last year. In the future, this will help to fight the supply of deliveries, due to which the automotive industry suffers around the world.
The lack of microchips feels both the Russian auto industry. “AvtoVAZ” from August 23 pronounces production in Tolyatti. The concert seeks to solve the problem with the assistance of the authorities and the RENAULT group.
