According to a Reuters report, Mitsubishi Motors said on Monday that due to chip shortages, the company will cut 7,500 car production in April, involving three manufacturing plants in Japan and Thailand.

The company spokesperson added that Mitsubishi Motors is studying whether it will further reduce production in May.

At present, the global chip shortage shows no signs of alleviating, and major automakers have announced production cuts or even halts. According to the Economic Observer Network, Li Bin, chairman of Weilai Automobile, said in an interview that many of the automotive semiconductors that are in short supply are not sophisticated, and many are basic and very cheap. For example, a one-dollar chip directly affects the supply of the supply chain and the capacity of the supply chain.

Especially with the development of automobiles in the direction of electrification and intelligence, the proportion of semiconductor applications will further increase. Any shortage of a chip will have an impact on the production and delivery of car companies.
