The fire that recently raged at Japanese chip maker Renesas will have a major impact on the supply of chips to the automotive industry worldwide. Renesas CEO Hidetoshi Shibata said this in a statement on Sunday.
–
Renesas is one of the largest suppliers of chips to the automotive industry. Toyota, among others, has a large customer. The company had to shut down production in a Japanese factory on Friday after a fire broke out in one of the cleanrooms. These spaces must prevent semiconductors from becoming contaminated with impurities. The company aims to resume production within a month.
The fire at Renesas is extremely inconvenient, as the automotive industry is already struggling with chip shortages worldwide. As a result, several automakers have already been forced to shut down production lines. In our country, Audi Brussels and Volvo Car and Volvo Trucks were affected.
