Rolls-Royce CEO says supply chain a daily cause for concern

“Supply chain is something that worries us, I would even say daily,” Mueller-Oetvoes said Thursday. “With all these port lockdowns in China, we also see certain constraints now. If only one part is missing, I cannot finish the product.”

Automakers that already were struggling to source chips are now also grappling with disruptions stemming from China’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, as well as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Rolls-Royce is coming off a record year, having delivered almost 5,600 vehicles globally in 2021.
