Volkswagen is facing a potential crisis as supply shortages at Dutch chipmaker Nexperia threaten to hit production. The company is considering introducing production restrictions and short-time work in response to these shortages. These measures could affect thousands of employees and Volkswagen has already started discussions with the employment agency to discuss possible steps.
Nexperia’s difficulties stem from the Dutch government’s recent takeover of control after the company was previously in Chinese hands. This change led to a ban from China on exports of Nexperia products, which also include automotive chips. The German manufacturers’ association VDA has already expressed concerns about possible production interruptions.
In contrast, Mercedes-Benz appears calm. Thanks to stable cooperation with suppliers and the processing of lessons from past chip crises, the car manufacturer feels well prepared for short-term challenges. Mercedes-Benz emphasizes that it is actively working on solutions to possible delivery bottlenecks, but points out that reliable future forecasts are currently difficult to make.
The current situation highlights the automotive industry’s dependence on global supply chains and the risks associated with geopolitical changes. While Volkswagen is examining possible production adjustments, it remains to be seen how the situation at Nexperia will develop and what impact this will have on the entire industry.
