IT Home learned that GAC Trumpchi said that the supply of chips in the M8 model has improved, and it will gradually resume normal supply, and will speed up the delivery of ordered vehicles.
According to reports, GAC Trumpchi will give priority to scheduling the welfare version under the condition of tight chip resources, and promise to deliver the car within one month after booking (in case of uncontrollable factors such as the epidemic, it will be negotiated separately) to meet the urgent needs of special users such as the elderly and people with reduced mobility.
In addition, the announcement said that the decline in Shadow Leopard sales was mainly affected by the shortage of ZF DP-EPS turn system chips. In order to speed up the supply of chips, GAC Trumpchi is actively working with ZF Group headquarters and chip suppliers to develop a production increase plan.
