Chery, GWM brands face parts supply delays
The issue seems to be an automotive industry challenge and not just one facing Chinese brands.
Chinese automakers, Chery, Omoda, and Jetour, are currently experiencing significant delays in receiving necessary vehicle parts, which may result in motorist shortages of replacement components and raise doubts about after-sales support. Insurance broker KPC Brokers has alerted its clients of these potential delays, warning that those without car hire could be left without transportation for over 60 days while repairs are being carried out.
KPC Brokers, a personal and business insurance provider, states that the issue is originating from parts suppliers and manufacturers rather than repair facilities. Most of the affected brands are Chinese, belonging to the Chery Holding Group. GWM and Haval are also on the list, but specific timelines for the availability of parts are not provided.
Changan, another brand on the list, has refuted claims of supply delays, requesting additional information from The Citizen to address the matter. This automotive industry-wide challenge is not exclusive to Chinese brands, with Japanese, South Korean, and US manufacturers also facing delays.
