Auto sector urges U.S. Congress to help fund its computer chip needs
(Reuters) - The U.S. auto industry and United Auto Workers union on Friday urged Congress to tie billions of dollars in government funding to boost semiconductor production to help fill the needs of automakers forced to slash production because of chip shortages.
Congress should prioritize production of the semiconductors necessary to assemble vehicles here in the United States.
This will ensure that motor vehicle manufacturers have a fair share of chips needed to meet consumer demand, said the American Automotive Policy Council, Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association and UAW on Friday in a joint statement.
