大众汽车表示，由于利润停滞不前，供应堵塞将持续下去
该汽车制造商将今年的交付量预期下调至与2021年持平，低于此前预测的5%-10%的增长，但保持了利润率达到7%-8.5%上限的盈利预期。
大众汽车该公司表示，由于保时捷(Porsche)上市和一家自动驾驶初创公司注销的负担，以及零部件安全问题，其第三季度盈利停滞在疫情前的水平，供应瓶颈已成为新常态。
的汽车制造商降低该公司预计今年的交付量将与2021年持平，低于此前预测的5%-10%的增长，但其盈利前景仍保持在7%-8.5%利润率的上限。
首席执行官Oliver Blume说:“我们供应链面临的挑战将成为常态，而不是例外。”他提到了东西方之间技术转移的障碍。
他还表示，订单已经满了，一些型号已经卖了18个月。
大众公布第三季度盈利43亿欧元(42.9亿美元)，此前暂停在俄罗斯的业务和保时捷上市带来了16亿欧元的一次性影响。
整个集团6%的利润增长了19.4%的利润率运动和奢侈品牌这些品牌更有能力通过提高价格来转嫁不断上升的成本，而批量品牌的买家则受到通胀的挤压。
大众汽车股价早盘下跌2.7%，表现逊于德国DAX指数0.8%的跌幅。
这一业绩超过了去年第三季度，当时芯片短缺导致整个汽车行业的销量下降，但仍落后于疫情前的利润，尽管梅赛德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)等豪华汽车制造商本季度实现了2019年的盈利。
保时捷(Porsche)在9月份上市后，已超过前母公司大众汽车(Volkswagen)，成为欧洲市值最高的汽车制造商。
大众汽车的困难还包括19亿欧元的非现金减值支出，这是由其资产减记造成的投资与福特汽车公司(Ford Motor Co.)共同拥有的自动驾驶初创公司Argo AI。
大众最初的投资价值26亿美元，其中包括10亿美元现金和大众欧洲自动驾驶部门的16亿美元，该部门被Argo吸收。大众还以5亿美元的价格从福特手中收购了Argo的股份。
两家公司周三都将支出从该业务转移，导致福特出现27亿美元非现金税前减值的净亏损。

Volkswagen<\/a> said supply bottlenecks were the new norm as its third quarter earnings stagnated below pre-pandemic levels, under the burden of its Porsche listing and the write-off of a self-driving startup, as well as issues securing parts.
The carmaker lowered<\/a> its expectations for deliveries this year to be on par with 2021, down from a previously-forecast 5%-10% rise, but maintained its earnings outlook of hitting the upper end of a 7%-8.5% margin.
\"Challenges to our supply chain will become the rule, not the exception,\" Chief Executive Oliver Blume said, citing barriers to technology transfers between East and West.
<\/div><\/div>A lack of semiconductors<\/a> and other critical parts meant the carmaker has 150,000 unfinished vehicles and is stocking up on supplies to protect against further shortages in winter, Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said in an earnings call.
He also said order books were filling up, with some models sold out for eighteen months.
Volkswagen reported third-quarter earnings of 4.3 billion euros ($4.29 billion), following 1.6 billion in one-off effects from the suspension of Russian activities and the Porsche AG listing.
Earnings of 6% across the group were boosted by a 19.4% margin in the sports and luxury brands<\/a>, which are more able to pass on rising costs by hiking prices than volume brands whose buyers are squeezed by inflation.
Volkswagen's shares fell 2.7% in early trade, underperforming Germany's DAX, which fell 0.8%.
The results beat last year's third quarter when chip shortages reduced sales across the auto industry, but they lagged pre-pandemic profits even as luxury carmakers, such as Mercedes-Benz caught up with 2019 earnings this quarter.
Porsche has overtaken its former parent Volkswagen as Europe's most valuable carmaker following its listing in September.
Volkswagen's difficulties also included a 1.9 billion euro non-cash impairment charge resulting from the write-down of its investment<\/a> in Argo AI, a self-driving startup it jointly owned with Ford Motor Co.

<\/div><\/div>Ford and Volkswagen joined forces in July 2019 to share control of the Pittsburgh-based company developing technology for driverless vehicles<\/a>, which will shut operations.
VW's initial investment was valued at $2.6 billion, including $1 billion in cash and the $1.6 billion value of Volkswagen's European self-driving unit, which was absorbed into Argo. VW also bought Argo shares from Ford for $500 million.
Both companies shifted spending from the business on Wednesday, dragging Ford into a net loss with a non-cash pretax impairment of $2.7 billion.
