The shortage of automotive electronic components continues to negatively affect the production of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Europe in Tramagal, Abrantes municipality, But no jobs are at risk. This is what Mitsubishi union president Dario Lima said, adding that workers were showing up for work daily.
Dario Lima, in statements to O Mirante, said that the company is “working within the limits of the existing capabilities”, stressing that the problem of delays in the delivery of electronic components for cars is general and affects more companies in this sector. However, he asserts that the situation is expected to be resolved soon, leaving the news that the company is “hiring more people to work”.
The Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Europe (MFTE) plant in Tramagal is Fuso’s production center in Europe and employs 450 workers as part of Daimler Truck, the world’s largest manufacturer of heavy vehicles.
In October of this year, it should be remembered, the company was forced to intermittently stop production due to delays in the delivery of components and a lack of supply of semiconductors. The annual production in 2020 at the Tramagal plant was 6,328 units with a sales volume of 151 million euros. With a total of 450 employees, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland were its main markets for MFTE.
