U.S. automakers could make 1.3M fewer vehicles this year because of semiconductor shortage
Updated Apr 06, 2021;
A trade group that represents automakers said a semiconductor shortage caused by COVID-19 could result in 1.28 million fewer vehicles being made in the U.S. this year.
In comments sent Monday to the Commerce Department, the Alliance for Auto Innovation said a recent survey done of automakers and supplies indicated the shortage could hurt auto production for another six months.
“The chip shortage has forced a number of automakers to halt production and cancel shifts in the United States, with serious consequences for their workers and the communities in which they operate,” wrote John Bozzella, the group’s president and CEO.
