Of the total units patented, 19,085 were from cars and 9,252 were light vehicles, 993 are heavy commercial vehicles, and 791 were other heavy vehicles.
Since June 2021, the participation of domestically manufactured vehicles has been reversed and they represent more sales than imported ones. In February they represented 64.1% of the total unitswhile 28.2% were of Brazilian origin.
He President of ACARA, Ricardo Salomé commented: “February ratifies a start to the year with an acceptable two-month period, with figures similar to those of last year and with growth, we know that if we had had more cars available, the registrations would have been greater. The lack of other investment options such as a vehicle , which also allows you to enjoy it quickly, has accelerated the decision to buy, although we continue to face the problem of the lack of a complete offer, due to global problems and local restrictions.”
In addition, he added: “This start of the year is auspicious but the best is yet to come, which is why we are excited that the 420,000 vehicles estimated for 2023 may only be one floor.”
