REUTERS/Issei Kato TOKYO (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Motors Corp will cut production by a combined 7,500 vehicles at three plants in Japan and Thailand in April, it said on Monday, citing chip shortages. The company is examining whether there will be more production cuts in May, a company spokeswoman added.

mikebell Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 With no jobs; no tourists to replenish the coffers, there is a shortage of customers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a " Chip shortage " as a cop out, this would be a good time to trim production if orders are poor. This may be a good time to bring it Home for Mitsubishi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Motors said it could face a $2bn profit hit. Quote Car manufacturers, who cut chip orders as vehcle sales fell last year, found themselves at the back of the queue when they tried to reorder when the market rebounded. The entire global car industry buys about $37bn worth of chips, with the biggest players such as Toyota and Volkswagen spending more than $4bn each, making them relative minnows for semiconductor suppliers. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/mar/21/global-shortage-in-computer-chips-reaches-crisis-point Edited April 13, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan is on the point of bankruptcy and Gm is hardly a beacon having failed a decade or so ago, Mitsubishi and Nissan both doomed, I do know there is a chip shortage but these two companie s Nissan/ Mitsubishi are doomed anyway.

GinBoy2 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 This is a tricky one. I spent most of my professional life in the semiconductor equipment business, and I watched as production moved from the vertically integrated companies to the fabless design and foundry model. The outcome being that 50% plus of the worlds semiconductors, while not designed there, are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan, another 18% by Samsung in Korea. If you think this is bad, imagine what happens if the inevitable happens and mainland China makes it's move on Taiwan! I have lived in both Shanghai and Taipei heading up our local organizations. In recent years I've watched Taiwanese friends go from optimist of a peaceful reunification along the lines of the original HK handover to abject dread. If what I think is the inevitable, given the current aggressive Beijing posturing, you all better be prepared for things to get a whole lot worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
