Iilori zaseSweden zeVolvo zithumele inzuzo engcono kuneelindelekileyo kwikota yesithathu kwimfuno eqinile, nangona ukunqongophala kwe-chip kuthintela ukuveliswa kweelori, amajelo angaphandle abike.Inzuzo ehlengahlengisiweyo yokusebenza kweelori zeVolvo inyuke nge-30.1 yeepesenti ukuya kwi-SKr9.4bn (i-1.09 yeebhiliyoni zeedola) kwikota yesithathu ukusuka kwi-Skr7.22bn kunyaka ongaphambili, ibetha ulindelo lwabahlalutyi lwe-Skr8.87bn.

Impembelelo "yokunqongophala okungundoqo" yehlile, kunye nokubhaliswa kweelori ezingama-290,000 eYurophu nase-US kulo nyaka.

Ukunqongophala kwe-semiconductor yehlabathi kubethe amacandelo amaninzi emveliso, ngakumbi ishishini lezimoto, lithintela iVolvo ekubeni ixhamle ngakumbi kwimfuno emandla yabathengi.Ngaphandle kokuchacha okumandla kwimfuno, ingeniso yeVolvo kunye neengeniso ezihlengahlengisiweyo zihlala zingaphantsi kwamanqanaba obhubhane.

Ukunqongophala kwamacandelo kunye nokuthunyelwa okuqinileyo kukhokelele kukuphazamiseka kwemveliso kunye nokwanda kweendleko, ezinje ngeempompo ze-injini, iinxalenye ze-injini kunye neendawo zokupholisa, utshilo uVolvo kwingxelo.Inkampani ikwathe ilindele ukuphazamiseka ngakumbi kunye nokuvalwa kwemveliso yelori kunye neminye imisebenzi.

UJpmorgan uthe ngaphandle kwempembelelo yeetshiphusi kunye nomthwalo, iVolvo inikeze "iseti yeziphumo ezilungileyo"."Ngelixa imiba yokubonelela ngempahla ihlala ingalindelekanga kwaye ukunqongophala kwe-semiconductor kusachaphazela ishishini leemoto kwisiqingatha sesibini sika-2021, siyavuma ukuba imakethi ilindele ukunyuka okuncinci."

Iilori zeVolvo zikhuphisana neDaimler yaseJamani kunye neTraton.Inkampani ithe ii-odolo zeelori zayo, ezibandakanya iimpawu ezinje ngoMark kunye neRenault, zehle nge-4% kwikota yesithathu ukusuka kunyaka ongaphambili.

I-Volvo ibikezela ukuba imarike yeloli yaseYurophu iya kukhula ibe yi-280,000 yezithuthi ezibhalisiweyo kwi-2021 kwaye imarike yase-US iya kufikelela kwiilori ze-270,000 kulo nyaka.Iimarike zelori ezinzima zaseYurophu kunye ne-US zombini zibekwe ukuba zikhule zibe yiyunithi ye-300,000 ebhaliswe kwi-2022. Inkampani yayibikezele ukubhaliswa kweelori ze-290,000 eYurophu nase-US kulo nyaka.

Ngo-Okthobha ka-2021, iilori zakwaDaimler zathi intengiso yelori iya kuqhubeka ingaphantsi kwesiqhelo ngo-2022 njengoko ukunqongophala kwe-chip kuthintele ukuveliswa kwemoto.
