VW Said to Ready Golf and Tiguan Pause as Nexperia Dispute Hits Chip Supply

Dutch control of Nexperia followed by Chinese export limits has tightened chip flows to European carmakers.

Overview

  • Bild reports Volkswagen has roughly one week of semiconductor stocks and is preparing to suspend Golf first, then Tiguan, at its Wolfsburg plant if deliveries do not resume.
  • The outlet also says Volkswagen is planning temporary reduced working hours that could affect large numbers of employees.
  • A Volkswagen representative said production materials are secured for the near term and the company is monitoring the semiconductor market.
  • The Netherlands invoked an emergency law to constrain Nexperia’s actions, and an Amsterdam court removed its CEO and placed most shares under an independent manager.
  • Bloomberg has reported Chinese export restrictions on Nexperia’s China unit and subcontractors, while Mercedes‑Benz says it does not expect short‑term production disruptions.
