Outlining the benefits of rentals
The current shortage of semiconductors could potentially disrupt global car and van manufacture further, causing delays and increased lead times for new vehicles. Have you got plans in place to mitigate the effect this may have on your fleet?
You will have no doubt seen or heard across the news that there is a global semiconductor shortage, and you may already be experiencing delivery delays and long lead times for new vehicle deliveries. This shortage has been caused by a surge in demand during the pandemic and a fire at a key supplier factory in Japan.
Some of the latest updates from The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) cite that the global shortage of semiconductors could see fleets continue to see vehicle orders affected. More manufacturers could be announcing delivery delays, and even some additional temporary factory closures may occur.
Is this shortage likely to impact your business, and have you got plans in place to cover any delayed vehicle deliveries?
