GERMANY S LARGEST CAR MAKER HALTS PRODUCTION OF ITS BEST SELLING MODELS OVER CHIP SHORTAGE
NO REPLACEMENTS IN SIGHT
ENTIRE GERMAN, US CAR INDUSTRY IS SET TO BE WIPED OUT
ALL HIGH TECH INDUSTRY, DEFENCE INDUSTRY, AI, ROBOTICS SET TO COLLAPSE
US STOCK MARKET BUBBLE IS SET TO BURST
TRUMP , KUHSNER, GATES, SOROS AND THE EPSTEIN CIRCLE MAY FIND THEMSELVES RACING FOR A PRIVATE JET AS THE FURIOUS PUBLIC REALIZE THEY WILL HAVE COST THEM THEIR JOBS, LIFE SAVINGS, FUTURE BY A STUNNING MISCALCULATION
IS THIS ALSO THE MOST COSTLY FRAME UP OF A REPORTER AND THEFT OF A BLUE PULLOVER EVER?
From media
Germany’s largest carmaker Volkswagen (VW) is once again facing major disruptions to its production lines. According to industry sources, the group is preparing to halt assembly of key models, including the Golf and Tiguan, due to a severe shortage of semiconductors.
The chip crisis, which has plagued the automotive industry since the pandemic, has flared up again — this time triggered by a political dispute surrounding the semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia.
Semiconductor dispute between China and the Netherlands
On September 30, the Dutch government, acting under U.S. pressure, took control of Nexperia, a company owned by the Chinese technology group Wingtech. In response, China imposed export restrictions on certain semiconductor components, partially halting Nexperia’s production.
While Nexperia does not sell chips directly to automakers, its semiconductors are integrated into components supplied by Tier-1 suppliers to manufacturers like VW, Mercedes, and BMW.
According to sources close to the company, Volkswagen still has enough stock to maintain production through this week, but shortages are expected to hit next week, potentially forcing temporary shutdowns at several plants.
Production stoppage could cost billions
A production standstill would be a heavy blow for Volkswagen, already under strain from slumping sales in China and the U.S., coupled with massive investment demands in electric mobility and digitalisation.
Chief financial officer Arno Antlitz (55) reportedly warned internally that VW will need €11 billion in liquidity for 2026 to meet its investment plans. Without this, the company risks delaying crucial projects in its electrification and software divisions.
VW is seeking to sell non-core assets and boost revenue through higher vehicle sales, but the renewed chip shortage threatens those recovery goals.
