They use way more complex computers than traditional ICE cars. EVs may change the way we build cars EVs will force new production methods on the industry | Michal Fludra via Getty Imagesįrankly, for all the good EVs do for our environment, they’re not helping the chip shortage. If you want specific dates, Bosch says the chip shortage could extend into 2022. We have to wait not only for these supply chains to catch up, but for these new factories to get off the ground. Rather, the answer may be harder to hear. Unfortunately, that second question is harder to answer. Moreover, semiconductor giants like Intel and TSMC are also building new plants to meet demand. The German company already went out and build a massive $1 billion Euro semiconductor assembly plant in Dresden, Germany. First, how is Bosch going to help end the chip shortage, and second, when will the chip shortage stop? Thankfully, Bosch already has answers before even asking the question. So, that immediately brings two questions to mind. When will the chip shortage stop? When the Germans are worried about cars, you should be too | Robert Michael via Getty Images In light of that, Bosch, as well as other semiconductor producers have stepped up. Additionally, Kroeger went on to say that automakers have quietly managed supply issues for some time, but it’s now time for an overhaul. Frankly, it’s hard out there right now.įord alone has had to delay and cut back production of the Bronco, as well as other models, in the face of the great chip shortage of 2021. However, many automakers are simply trying to keep up with demand. Harald Kroeger, Bosch board manager, says automakers need to find ways to improve the supply chain.

Now, the brand says that production methods and supply chains are inadequate for the modern world. However, even the mighty Bosch has been felled by the chip shortage.
I routinely find parts on my project car that are made by Bosch, and that car is old enough to vote. Put another way, the German parts manufacturer makes just about everything cars. Walk into a Bosch plant and you’d be able to slap together a whole car using nothing but the dumpster out back. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
