[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] As the supply shortage of automotive semiconductors continues, Hyundai Motor Company's Asan plant has decided to shut down again.
According to industry sources on the 16th, Hyundai Motor will close the Asan plant for two days on the 19th and 20th.
The company stated that although it is making every effort to secure automotive semiconductors, some semiconductor supply issues remain unresolved, making the shutdown unavoidable.
Previously, Hyundai Motor's Asan plant had suspended operations on the 12th and 13th due to automotive semiconductor supply problems.
However, the entire plant will not be shut down; only the production lines for Sonata and Grandeur will be closed, while the automobile engine production line is expected to operate normally.
It is reported that there are currently no plans to consider additional shutdowns after this closure.
