As we all know, car manufacturing companies around the globe are suffering from the aftermaths of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pakistani auto industry bears no exception. The global crisis has taken down many of our automakers. After Suzuki, MG, Prince DFSK, Changan, and KIA, the new target is Hyundai. The company says they won’t be able to make on-time deliveries of the Hyundai Tucson due to the international shortage of semiconductor chips.
The company’s social media post says: “We at Hyundai Nishat Motor (Private) Limited have tried to fulfill our commitments despite the pandemic. However, the shortage is a situation we can not control resulting in the delayed deliveries of the Hyundai TUCSON for many of our customers. We will not stop looking for solutions, but till we do, we request you to please bear with us.”
Here’s the official notice.
As per media reports, the semiconductor chip crisis could last for almost a year, which means that automakers around the world will have to go through massive sales losses in 2021. That’s not great news.
Closing Thoughts
The good thing about Hyundai Nishat addressing the issue of late car deliveries is that they have apologized for the delay just like everybody else did. They have also mentioned that the company is not taking any more bookings for Tucson until they make sure that the already booked vehicles make it to their owners’ homes.
We have said this before, and we’ll say it again. The auto manufacturing companies in Pakistan are taking the responsible step of keeping their customers in the loop about the late deliveries of cars. They appreciate the customers for their patience and are doing the best they can to beat these challenges. They need the customers’ support to come out stronger and resilient. Let’s all try to understand that.
