BERLIN (Reuters) -Volkswagen has secured sufficient chips for its production, the head of the carmaker’s VW brand said on Tuesday, as other automotive firms still struggle with a supply shortage triggered by a trade dispute over manufacturer Nexperia.
Thomas Schaefer, head of the Volkswagen brand and member of the carmaker’s management board, said that Europe’s largest automaker had learned a lot from the chip crisis following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re secure at present,” he said on the sidelines of an industry event when asked about the current shortage of Nexperia chips.
