With 10,528 units sold in October, the truck market totaled 102,593 in the first ten months of the year, a 2% fall compared to the same period in 2021, when 104,769 units were licensed.
October’s performance was 4.6% lower than September’s (11,091), also lower than in the same month last year, when 11.068 units were sold. The data were released this Thursday, 11/3, by Fenabrave, which considered normal the negative results, attributing it to the number of working days in October compared to September – 20 and 21, respectively.
“Truck registers went over 100 thousand units in the year, and it is possible to repeat the 2021 result, as we have projected”, comments José Maurício Andreta Jr., Fenabrave’s president.
This year, the road implement segment, which uses to follow the trucks, had a larger fall. It dropped 8ç2%, with 69,053 units sold from January through October, compared to 75,237 in the same period last year.
“Implements’ licensing are usually similar to trucks’. Nonetheless, this year some transporters are prioritizing changing their trucks to meet the Proconve P7 pollutant reduction rules”, asserts Andreta Jr.
The bus segment grew nearly 15% year to date, with 14,841 units sold. In October, the volume was just 1,828 units, with a 25% drop compared to September, when 2,437 chassis were sold.
According to Fenabrave’s president, this fall was due to the performance in the ninth month of the year, when “there was a good volume of registers of vehicles from the federal government’s program Caminho da Escola”.
