The truck industry, which is going through a transitional moment as all its products shall adopt the Euro VI emissions rules from next January, faced a sales retraction in November. The fall reached 6.1% , with 9,935 units licensed compared with 10,582 in October and 5.1% less than in the same month last year (10,538).
According to data from Fenabrave, released this Friday, 12/2, the sector sold 112,523 trucks in the first eleven months of the year, slightly less than in the same period in 2021 (115,307 units). For the association’s president, José Maurício Andreta Jr, the segment’s demand keeps good but still faces problems with parts and components supply.
“Besides the good results this year, the perspective for the next months is good. With the technology change and the commercial fleet renovation cycle, we shall keep the demand”, commented the executive, remembering the sector’s good results obtained at the Fenatran, Latin America’s largest cargo transportation and logistics fair, last month.
Andreta said the business volume at the event was over the organizers’ R$ 9 billion estimates, “certainly proof of a good demand for cargo vehicles.”
On the other hand, the bus market keeps growing. The segment sold 2,115 units in November, a 15.7% increase over the 1,828 units commercialized in October and expressive 55% over the same month last year. Year-to-date, there were 19,179 vehicles licensed, 18.1% more than in the same period of 2021 (16.2 thousand).
“The bus licensing recovery is excellent news, as this was one of the most affected segments over the critical Covid-19 pandemic period”, said Andreta Jr.
