Semiconductors In Short Supply In the news today:
"Volkswagen AG's namesake brand will temporarily stop accepting orders in Germany for plug-in hybrid models due to the shortage of semiconductors.
The German car maker is seeing strong demand for these vehicles, which leads to a high order backlog, a spokesman said on Tuesday. Due to the demand in combination with the restricted supply of semiconductors, Volkswagen is unable to accept further orders in Germany to avoid having to extend delivery times, he said."
