On the way to more electromobility, Federal Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) appeals to the automotive industry to bring as many components as possible into domestic production.
It would be the wrong message to motorists to offer bonuses for the purchase of e-vehicles, "the end consumers then have to wait nine months for the product because various parts are not available," said Scheuer on Wednesday in Hamburg.
Hamburg - "When converting mobility, we need the availability of the products."
In the auto industry there are currently production stops and shift failures due to a lack of semiconductors.
Important suppliers are located in Asia.
Scheuer said: "I hope that the decisive factor is not only the global perspective of a manufacturer, but also what components absolutely have to remain in Germany in order to maintain the supply chains in Germany".
