Yamaha Motor Philippines Inc. said its production is currently affected by the shortage of semiconductors, among others.
According to Koike, demand is not a problem as dealers are “asking for more”. However, he said YMPH is currently facing “purely supply” problems caused by the semiconductor shortage. The YMPH president also noted that among the models, NMAX, their best-selling model and their recently-launched model Fazzio use “more semiconductors.”Koike said YMPH sources most of its chips from Taiwan and Malaysia. But, he said they get some of the parts from Indonesia.
“So it’s more of an Indonesian supplier who gets it and puts it into ABS units and so on. They supply us,” Koike said.
