Bosch China's executive vice president predicts that the chip shortage is expected to ease in the second half of the year

Friends who pay attention to the automotive circle should be clear that since the end of last year, many mainstream car companies have adjusted the prices of their models, especially new energy vehicles. There are two main reasons for this, one is that the country has made up for the decline and the preferential treatment has been reduced; the other is the insufficient supply of components such as power batteries and chips, resulting in rising costs. The lack of core can be said to be a major "main theme" of the automotive industry last year, and it has not been sung until 2022. So, when will the lack of core be solved? According to 21 Finance, Xu Daquan, executive vice president of Bosch China, predicts that the chip shortage is expected to ease in the second half of the year.

Xu Daquan said that Bosch will continue to increase investment in electrification and intelligence in the future, especially for ADAS driver assistance, 2022 is a key year. Together with its partners, Bosch will create a higher level of L2+ driver assistance solutions. It also believes that the chip supply in 2022 will still not be able to meet all the needs of the main engine factory, and this year's car production will still be largely constrained by the chip supply. However, with the new production capacity of chip manufacturers, the shortage of chips is expected to be alleviated in the second half of the year.

In fact, the impact of chip shortage has long been not limited to the automotive industry, including electronic technology, etc., industries with a large demand for chips are facing the problem of lack of cores. When the lack of cores can end, when can these industries move forward healthily.
