The lack of semiconductors threatens the entire industry.Manufacturers panic

Ibm Samar reports extensively about the case.As we read, disturbances of semiconductors' supply delayed the production of 500,000 vehicles around the world, and the deficiencies of these elements may also be felt in 2022."Therefore, ensuring an adequate level of availability of chips should be one of the priorities of the European Union," says the Association of Distributors and Producers of Automotive parts (SDCM).

The report leaves no doubt

The European Association of Automotive Parts (Clepa), to which the SDCM belongs, has prepared a report with recommendations regarding EU policy, which aims to take action to strengthen the European microelectronic industry and ensure the continuity of semiconductor supply.

says Tomasz Bęben, managing director of the SDCM.

Deliveries from Asia with problems

The European automotive industry is largely dependent on Far Eastern suppliers.This creates a great risk for producers, which was revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic.According to Clepa estimates, 60-70 percent.semiconductors used in the automotive industry come from plants located in China and Taiwan.The continuity of deliveries from these countries threatens M.in.felt problems with transport or subsequent illness waves and lockdown threat.

Clepa postulates in its report investments in both European abilities to design semiconductors, as well as in the development of the production of these micro -parties.says Alfred Franke, president of the Motofocus group.pl.
