As you may or may not know, the production of new vehicles is continuing to be affected by the crisis in Ukraine and the semi-conductor shortage
Shortages and higher prices of essential raw materials needed in vehicle manufacturing caused by the war in Ukraine are adding further delays to vehicle production, adding to the delays caused by the global shortage of semi-conductor chips. The shortage of semiconductors was made worse by the increased demand for personal computers, tablets and smartphones at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, which diverted supply away from the automotive sector.
Ukraine is a prime exporter of neon gas, which is an essential part of the production process of the chips used extensively in new vehicles. Plus, several manufacturers are also suffering production delays and suspensions due to Ukrainian component manufacturers being unable to maintain supplies.
Russia is the world’s third-largest producer of nickel, used in the lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles, while around one fifth of the palladium used by the automotive industry to make catalytic convertors also comes from Russia.
All of this on top of the backlog of delayed orders from during lockdown and the temporary suspension of production over the past 2 years is having a negative knock-on effect, resulting in a longer lead time you will wait for a new vehicle to be built and delivered.
