The current global crisis of electronic components could not have hit the automotive industry at a more delicate moment, and the ECO opinion article titled “The Shortage of Semiconductors and Automotive Resilience”, written by Miguel Pinto, highlights the effects of this reality and clearly points out the risks and opportunities for Portugal.
