After 30 years at it you can run out of new things to say. But pretty much you can just repeat news of about 8 years ago and the circle is relevant again. We have coped with Brexit (sort of), the Pandemic is rapidly becoming old newspaper now - so we need another crisis to brighten up our dull old lives. And this time it is lack of rain (failed monsoons for 2 years) in Taiwan and too much cold in Texas in February. Who would have thought that even a loaf of bread has a semi-conductor silicon wafer in it? Taiwan makes the most silica but has no water to keep the silicon mills running - and power cuts in Feb took out the next slice in Texas. And so ...... no LED lights for trailers and even less ECU for the braking systems. = sad trailer manufacturers relying on WABCO, Haldex or Knorr Bremse to slow down their equipment are shit out of luck. Back next year when maybe there will be some trailers to sell. Love and kisses etc.
