UNDATED (AP) — Ukraine is among the world’s largest suppliers of neon, a gas used in lasers that are the light source in the process of placing integrated circuits on computer chips. That worries auto industry executives, who fear that tight neon supplies could worsen a global chip shortage that already has forced production cuts and made vehicles scarce worldwide. A Toyota spokesman says the company is monitoring the situation but does not think it’s an “imminent issue.”
