Automobilindustrie: Fehlende Teile – BMW lässt Schichten ausfallen
Insgesamt sollen drei Werke betroffen sein, heißt es aus Kreisen. Es geht dabei nur um einzelne Schichten – jede davon dürfte aber hunderte Autos betreffen.
Automobilindustrie: BMW Faces Production Losses Due to Component Shortages
The German car manufacturer BMW is currently experiencing production setbacks at several of its facilities due to a lack of necessary components. A spokesperson for the company revealed that this issue arises from sudden supply chain disruptions for external parts. Neither the identity of the affected components nor the reasons behind the shortages were disclosed by the company. Sources within the company indicate that three of BMW's production sites - Regensburg, Leipzig, and Oxford - have been impacted.
BMW is actively engaged with its network of suppliers to stabilize the component supply and resume production. However, the exact extent of the production losses has not been publicly disclosed yet. Last year, BMW produced nearly 357,000 vehicles in Regensburg, around 260,000 in Leipzig, and approximately 124,000 in Oxford. Even a single shift loss at any of these sites could result in the loss of hundreds of vehicles. Typically, such production disruptions can be rectified over time.
Interestingly, BMW has plans to acquire battery cells from Samsung and LG Energy for future use.
