北京, 十二月 4 (路透社) – 大众汽车公司, 中国最大的外国汽车制造商, 周五表示，在 COVID-19 大流行扰乱了全球某些电子元件的芯片供应后，中国的整体汽车生产可能会中断.
大流行已经打击了全球的汽车和汽车零部件生产, 和中国的汽车制造, 世界上最大的汽车市场, relies heavily on imported chips for electronic parts such as electronic control units and electronic stability programmes.
“The chip supply for certain automotive electronic components has been affected due to uncertainties caused by the pandemic,” a Volkswagen representative told Reuters in an emailed statement.
“This has led to a potential interruption in automotive production, with the situation getting more critical as demand has risen due to the full speed recovery of the Chinese market,” the statement, which refers to China’s overall auto production and not specifically Volkswagen’s, said.
Volkswagen also said it was closely monitoring the situation, and had already started coordinating with its HQ and suppliers to take appropriate countermeasures.
The Wolfsburg-based company has local joint ventures with SAIC Motor Corp Ltd, China FAW Group Corp Ltd and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp Ltd (江淮汽车) .
