Nissan is one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world and is very popular in our country. This makes it one of the main companies affected by the chip crisis. While the entire automotive industry is grappling with this crisis, we sometimes hear optimistic statements and this gives us hope. However, Nissan’s boss, Makoto Uchida, made a contrary statement to these statements.
Nissan boss finds end date of chip crisis unrealistic
Since the chip crisis began to be talked about, we have heard optimistic and pessimistic statements from many names. Among them were the top names of companies such as Intel and Volkswagen from time to time. The general view is that the chip crisis will subside in 2022 and will no longer be a problem. But the head of Nissan, Makoto Uchida, doesn’t think so. According to Uchida, it is too early to say when the chip crisis will end.
Uchida, when asked about his thoughts on the chip crisis in an interview with the BBC, said, “I can’t give you an answer. The new virus variant may put a strain on this, so how we react is crucial. ” said.
Today’s world is powered by chips, from cars to dishwashers. Our unpreparedness for the pandemic had a negative impact on the workforce around the world, and chip production is one of them. Although there is still an ongoing pandemic, some sectors were able to enter in a recovery. However, production difficulties in computer chips that make up our present and future cannot meet the demands.
Nissan didn’t give date for electric conversion
Automotive giants entered a race to electrify all of their vehicles. Many automobile manufacturers have started to announce the date that they will say goodbye to internal combustion engines as a prediction. Nissan, on the other hand, is silent about this for now, although the company produces electric vehicles on the one hand, it has not announced when it will say goodbye to internal combustion engines.
Some of you may find it correct that Nissan does not disclose its predictions on these two important issues. Because we are in an ongoing crisis and making commitments about the future during this period may create disappointments in the future. Still, we wonder about the period when Nissan will also abandon internal combustion engines.
