Renault Expects Tough 3Q on Semiconductors

Renault SA said Monday that it anticipates a "very difficult"
third quarter on the semiconductor-shortage front, before an
improvement in the last three months of the year.
The French car maker said in July that the shortage of
electronic components could cut 2021 production by 200,000
vehicles.
The worsening pandemic situation in southeast Asia over the
summer has led to a deterioration in the semiconductor supply
situation, a Renault spokeswoman said Monday.
"At this stage, we lack visibility on the coming months and keep
a crisis unit up to date daily to best manage the evolution of the
situation," she added.
Renault's comments come after Daimler AG's Chief Executive Ola
Kallenius said in an interview with Automobilwoche last week that
the German car maker expects sales at its Mercedes-Benz Cars unit
in the third quarter to be noticeably lower than in the second due
to the shortage.
