As the second full year of semiconductor shortages nears an end, automakers are still cutting cars and trucks off the schedule.
According to AFS’ latest forecast, microchip shortages will have knocked 4.4 million vehicles out of global production plans by the end of 2022. That is nearly 400,000 more vehicles than already have been eliminated this year — and with barely a month left in the 2022 calendar.
AFS indicates that China’s auto factories have been relatively spared from the chip crisis this year.
