JAKARTA – The global shortage of chips has forced many technology companies and vehicles to stop operating. Instead of furloughing its employees who cannot work, the Mercedes-Benz Group has another plan.
The German automaker announced on Monday, April 4 that it will put more than 5.000 workers on collective vacation at two factories in Brazil due to a shortage of semiconductor chips.
