An emerging shortage of semiconductors risks disrupting global car and van production, fleets are being warned by the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP).
The fleet training and trade body says that fleet decision-makers may need to adopt strategies to cope with longer lead times for vehicles if the disruption continues.
The global semiconductor shortage, caused by a surge in demand during the pandemic for consumer electronics and a recent fire in a key supplier in Japan, is impacting on the ability of all automotive manufacturers to produce vehicles equipped with certain components, according to The Procurement Partnership.
