Component shortage challenges production pace and stock outflow before the next Proconve P8 phase, in January
By Décio Costa | Translated by Jorge Meditsch
The last month of the year will be a challenge for the truck industry, which races to deliver the Euro 5 vehicles ordered for 2022. Beginning in January, the manufacturers will not be able to produce trucks under the current environmental regulation.
According to Luiz Carlos Mores, Anfavea’s vice president, the difficulties still persist even with the semiconductors crisis attenuating.
“There are no more long line stoppages, but there are daily challenges to fulfill the schedule. One of the priorities is to complete vehicles parked in the manufacturer’s yards to deliver most of them still this year,” told the executive at the automotive balance presentation this Wednesday, 12/7.
Moraes ponders that there will not be enough time for all deliveries, and they shall advance along the first months of 2023 “according to what legislation allows, with vehicles sold yet this year”. Nonetheless, he remembers that the lack of collective vacations in many manufacturers this year – anticipated due to the component shortage, can help it.
Last month’s numbers show difficulties at the plants, but they are far from worrisome. In November, truck production reached 15.1 thousand units, 3% less than in October, when 15.2 thousand trucks were sold, but 5.2% over the volume in the same month last year, 14.3 thousand units.
Over the first eleven months, the volume was slightly over the production in the same period last year, with 147.3 thousand trucks, a 0.7% growth.
