AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/26 Report--

Recently, the shortage of chips in the global automobile industry continues to increase, and many car companies have announced to stop or reduce production because of the cut-off of chips. This problem has affected domestic automakers. According to relevant media reports, FAW-Volkswagen originally planned to produce about 610000 vehicles in the second quarter of this year, but due to the shortage of chips, it is expected to produce only 400000 vehicles in the second quarter.

A few days ago, a related media interview and survey of a number of 4S stores found that some brand models were unable to lift the car after a price increase. A salesperson from a 4S store in Guangzhou told the media, "the BMW 4-Series has now added 30,000 to its original price, and there is no guarantee that the car will be mentioned this year." In fact, in addition to BMW 4S stores, the difficulty of picking up cars in other brands 4S stores has also become the norm. According to a salesperson at a Lexus 4S store in Guangzhou, at present, taking ES200 as an example, the supply of the car is very tight, the quotations are based on the same day, and the market is changing every day, so there is no way to make promises to customers.

One owner of the Great Wall tank 300 said that he had been waiting for his Great Wall tank 300 to pick up his car for more than four months. According to a salesperson at the Great Wall WEY 4S store, there are no existing cars in the store, there is no queue for price increases, and price increases are not allowed, only queues are allowed. At present, the car is waiting longer and longer, sales orders soar, production capacity can not keep up with the speed of orders, and booking cars a day later will be much slower. At present, the queue can not pick up the car until at least around National Day. "

It can be seen that the shortage of chips makes it difficult to pick up cars not only in luxury cars and imported cars, but also in YD's DM-i series and Great Wall Tank 300. On May 17 this year, BYD issued a statement saying that it was actively arranging and deploying to accelerate the production capacity increase of the DM-i super hybrid model. "due to the large number of orders and the relatively slow delivery of vehicles, the delivery of new orders still requires an average waiting time of three to five months." And after entering the second quarter, the shortage of automotive chips has not been alleviated, and its impact is also increasing. now, in addition to the longer waiting time for car booking, many popular models will face the possibility of upward adjustment.

From the perspective of the global market, the crisis of lack of core is far more serious than expected. Since Volkswagen stopped production in December last year due to a shortage of ESP chips in mainland China and Bosch, the "core shortage" crisis has continued to affect Volvo, GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other car companies, and Xilai Motor has also announced a five-day suspension of production due to core shortage. The global shortage of automotive chips has had a serious impact on many automobile manufacturers. According to the research released by AlixPartners, the global semiconductor chip shortage crisis will continue to cause serious damage to the automotive business, with a total revenue loss of not less than 110 billion US dollars in 2021, which is expected to affect the production of at least 3.9 million vehicles.

In addition, according to the CCTV financial report, Pat Gersingh, CEO of Intel, the US chipmaker, said that the global chip shortage may continue for another two years.
