First impact
Vehicles and light trucks →Shortage riskLogistics and dealer distribution
If Chinese-made hybrid exports to the EU are capped from more than a third of sales to about 15%, fewer vehicles move through import logistics and dealer distribution, leaving that channel short of volume.

A lower EU sales share for Chinese hybrids would trim output of those EU-bound vehicles, softening demand for the semiconductor content they consume and pressuring prices.

Renesas holds about 30% of this automotive-semiconductor segment, so a cap on hybrid vehicle exports would reduce chip demand and pressure pricing/orders.
