Renault said on Friday it would cut output by 500,000 cars this year, more than double its previous forecast due to a crippling global semiconductor shortage, but maintained its profit outlook, helped by higher car prices and cost cuts
During a presentation to analysts, Renault CFO Clotlide Delbos said the carmaker's visibility on the chip shortage in the fourth quarter was “still very poor because the information coming from suppliers is very unreliable”.
When asked about other raw materials, she said Renault was not seeing shortages but was facing price increases. Sources close to the firm told Reuters this week production losses would be much higher than previously forecast.
