The lack of cores in cars has now become a problem in the global automotive industry. For this reason, car companies have to develop countermeasures, such as producing “core-missing” vehicles.
A few days ago, according to “CCTV Finance” report, in recent years, the shortage of automotive chips has been hazy. In the United States,Hundreds of new cars are forced to sit idle in the huge parking lot outside the Ford factory, unable to be delivered because they are not chipped.
More recently, Ford even announced that it would sell “semi-finished” vehicles lacking some chips for non-safety-critical functions, promising to send the chips back to dealers a year later to help install them in customers’ cars.
Daimler, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and Tesla have all publicly stated that due to “lack of cores”, they cannot guarantee a complete configuration for a new car. BMW has eliminated the touch function of the center information display on several models; GM will temporarily drop the seat heating function.
Last week, due to a shortage of chips, the global production of about 96,300 vehicles was cut, of which more than 80% of the reduction came from the European market, and the North American market reduced production by about 14,200 vehicles.As of now, about 1.25 million vehicles have been cut globally by 2022.
In addition, GM has also produced a 2021 light-duty full-size pickup without the fuel management module, and the fuel economy of the affected vehicles will be reduced by 1 mile per gallon of fuel (equivalent to 400 meters per liter of gasoline). ). However, GM will give buyers a small discount of $50 (about 325 yuan) for this purpose.
