Reuters reported that General Motors (GM), an American automobile company, will cut production at four assembly plants around the world, including the Bupyeong plant in Korea, starting next week due to a shortage of semiconductors.
Reuters said GM will stop production of vehicles in Fairfax, Kansas, Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, and Potosi, San Luis, Mexico, starting on the 8th.
The second plant in Bupyeong, Incheon, South Korea, said it plans to cut production in half next week.
Other major automakers such as Volkswagen, Ford and Toyota have also decided to cut production due to the recent shortage of automotive semiconductors.
