本田墨西哥工厂因安世半导体争端停产

Core Viewpoint - Honda has halted production at its Mexican plant due to semiconductor shortages caused by geopolitical tensions surrounding Nexperia, a semiconductor manufacturer based in the Netherlands and owned by a Chinese company. This marks the first time a Japanese automaker has explicitly reported being affected by this issue [2][4]. Group 1: Production Impact - Honda stopped production in Mexico on October 28 and began adjusting production in the U.S. and Canada on October 27. The company has not disclosed the scale or duration of the production cuts [4]. - The Mexican plant, located in Celaya, is a crucial facility for Honda, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, primarily producing the SUV model HR-V. North America accounts for 40% of Honda's global sales, and prolonged production disruptions in this region could lead to a decline in performance [4][5]. Group 2: Semiconductor Supply Chain Issues - Honda utilizes general semiconductors produced by Nexperia in some of its components. While the motorcycle production facility in Mexico continues to operate normally, the automotive production has been significantly impacted [5]. - The Dutch government has taken control of Nexperia citing national security concerns, while the Chinese government has responded with export controls on products manufactured by Nexperia in China [5].
