Are Dongfeng Honda's Automotive Chips Affected?
2 Answers
Due to the impact of chip shortages, Dongfeng Honda has been forced to halt production of the most models. Below is more information about Dongfeng Honda: 1. Introduction to Dongfeng Honda: Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. is a joint venture for vehicle production and operation, jointly established with 50% investment from Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., 10% from Honda Technology Research Industry (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and 40% from Honda Technology Research Industry Co., Ltd. of Japan. 2. Main Products: Since its establishment, the company has successively introduced Honda's sports utility vehicle CR-V (Siwei), mid-size car CIVIC (Civic), high-end sports sedan SPIRIOR (Spirior), self-owned brand model CIIMO (Ciming), high-end MPV Elysion (Ailishen), hybrid vehicle INSIGHT (Insight), and new concept sedan JADE (Jade).
I'm also quite concerned about the chip situation at Dongfeng Honda. During the global chip shortage last year, it did affect production schedules, with some cars at the factory having to queue for chips. I heard that delivery times for popular models like the Civic and CR-V were one or two months longer than usual. However, they managed adjustments well by prioritizing core models and coordinating inventory with other suppliers. Over the past six months, chip supply has gradually recovered, and dealer inventories have increased. While it's not completely without impact, customers ordering cars now generally don't face the long waits they did before. I recommend visiting a 4S store to inquire—discounts and current vehicle availability are usually transparent. The chip shortage is an industry-wide issue, and Dongfeng Honda's response has been relatively timely, without affecting daily driving quality.
