Car chip shortage update honda

Chip shortages continue to hit production schedules for vehicle manufacturers, and Honda is the latest major automaker to be forced into some big production cutbacks. A shortage of semiconductor chips—essential devices in the manufacturing process of electronics—has plagued the auto industry for over a year.

In 2021, the chip shortage forced automakers worldwide to cancel production of 11.3 million vehicles. The latest forecasts for 2022 suggest companies have adapted to the shortage somewhat, with 3.8 million vehicles projected to be canceled this year.

A spokesperson said: ‘Honda continues to experience interruptions to production due to various factors including semiconductor shortage, logistics delays and the wider impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, for the European region, we are currently experiencing some disruption to supply.
