They project for this year a 15% increase in automotive production

With an internal market on the rise, the Automotive industry It is adjusting the production to supply the greatest domestic demand.

It is true that exports show a more difficult picture due to a decrease, in Brazilof sales projections for this year for internal issues. This can make Argentina’s shipments to that country reside.

Anyway, for the moment, the estimates they make in ADEFA – The association that groups local terminals – maintain positive numbers.

They provide an increase in automotive production by 2025

In an internal survey carried out by the Association of Terminals (ADEFA), to collect information to present at a meeting they will have with the Government in the next few days – They estimate that foreign sales will be around the 350,000 units, against 315,000 of 2024.

It is possible that some decline towards Brazil is compensated with the recovery of other markets that had fallen in 2024, such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. On the production side, Adefa projects a volume of 580,000 units, 15% more than in 2024. The funny thing is that autopartists handle other numbers not so positive.

An internal survey carried out by the association that groups them (AFAC) shows a lower 0KM manufacturing expectation. For suppliers, based on orders that the terminals are doing to produce this year, they concluded that the total manufacture of vehicles would be 534,658 units. A smaller number than inafa.

Keep in mind that these statistics – especially those of ADEFA – are prepared the informal statement made by each company. It can vary for different reasons or, also, “hide” the company’s real data for a matter of not giving information to the competition.

In the case of AFAC, the information arises from the orders of in charge in charge, which would seem to be a more concrete fact. Beyond the difference between one entity and the other, the interesting thing about the AFAC’s internal report is that it discriminates the production projected by company.

According to this information, Toyota plans to manufacture 173,000 vehicles this year, with their Hilux, SW4 and HIACE models, 3% more than last year.

Second place occupies it Stellantisat the Palomar plant, where it manufactures the Peugeot and Citroën line, with 78,500 vehicles, 4.5% more than in 2024.

Follow the plant Stellantis fiatin Córdoba, with 77,000 units. In this case, according to the AFAC survey, it would reduce the production by 8%.

The fourth place is for Fordwith 74,500 units of the Ranger Pickup and a rise of 9.6% compared to last year. Volkswagen is located in fifth place with 47,000 vehicles, between Taos and Amarok.

Renault continues with 29,158, General Motors with 20,000, Mercedes-Benz (Sprinter) with 14,000 and Nissan with 12,000 (although some suppliers say it could reach 15,000).

This regarding the segment of light cars and commercials. Heavy vehicles should be added. Iveco, according to this report, plans to manufacture 4,200 units, while Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses would manufacture 3,500 vehicles. With the passing of the months and what happens in the internal and external market, it will be seen if these projections are fulfilled.
