Volkswagen's production in Germany is secure for next week, but chip supply risks from Nexperia pose potential disruptions.
BERLIN (Reuters) -Vehicle production at Volkswagen's German sites is secured for next week as of Thursday, the carmaker said, but warned that disruptions remain a risk as a trade stand-off over Dutch chipmaker Nexperia weighs on auto suppliers.
"The supply shortage at the Dutch chip manufacturer Nexperia continues, for the time being, to have no impact on production at the vehicle manufacturing plants of the Volkswagen brand in Germany," a Volkswagen spokesperson said.
"In view of the dynamic situation, however, short-term impacts on the production network of the Volkswagen Group cannot generally be ruled out," the spokesperson said, adding that the company remained in close contact with suppliers as it examines alternatives.

Production status indicates the current operational state of a manufacturing facility, including whether production is ongoing, halted, or at risk due to supply chain issues.
