JAKARTA The protracted scarcity of chips forced a number of car manufacturers to stop or reduce their production. This happened to car manufacturers Stellantis and Renault who would stop some of their factories in Spain in the coming days and weeks.
According to sources in the unions of the two companies, to Reuters, Friday, September 16, this is all due to a continuing lack of microchips.
The global chip shortage, caused by supply chaos due to the pandemic and growing demand, has undermined the automotive sector with many companies temporarily halting production.
Two Renault factories in the Castile and Leon regions, Spain will be temporarily suspended, while one will be completely closed on Saturday and the other will cancel shifts on the few days of the week and beyond.
At the Stellantis plant in Vigo, in northwestern Spain, the company has also canceled shifts Saturday and Sunday night.
"They suspended production for 15 days in February. Supply shortages could mean more closures at any time," union representatives Stellantis told Reuters.
A renewable spokesman was not willing to comment on the report, nor has Stellantis. In recent months, the two companies have suspended production several times in Spain.
