Why Was the Volkswagen Tharu Discontinued?
1 Answers
The primary reason affecting the discontinuation of the Volkswagen Tharu by both SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen is the insufficient supply of chips. Detailed information: Chip shortage impacts auto production: According to media reports, the capacity constraints in the semiconductor industry are not only affecting the consumer electronics sector but have now extended to the automotive industry. The shortage of automotive chips has put car manufacturers at risk of production halts: The current shortage of automotive chips will result in the inability to produce two major modules—ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and ECU (Electronic Control Unit), also known as the vehicle's onboard computer. Due to the chip supply disruption, automakers face the risk of halting production. It is reported that SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen are the first to be affected by this production halt.
