On March 20, Mercedes-Benz announced it will grant collective vacations to 300 employees for one month at its truck plant in São Bernardo, Brazil in a move to adjust inventory as truck sales have slowed and some supply chain issues remain.
"Mercedes-Benz do Brasil confirms the granting of partial collective vacations for employees in some areas of the production lines of São Bernardo do Campo, during the period from April 3 to May 2, 2023. This need to adjustment in the production program is a result of the lack of components in the global and national automotive industry and also the adjustment of sales volumes in the commercial vehicle market.”
Mercedes-Benz said that the number of workers on collective holidays do not include all of the employees who will be laid off during the one-month period.
The plant has 8,000 workers, 6,000 of whom are part of the production staff.

On March 20, Hyundai announced it was pausing production and granting collective vacations to the 2,000 employees of the three shifts at its plant in Piracicaba, Brazil, where it produces the HB20 and Creta models.
The assembly line pause will continue to April 3, though the engine line will go on working.
Hyundai informed that the interruption of the assembly lines occurs to adjust the production volumes for the month of March, "avoiding the formation of stocks and following the dynamics of the internal market in the first quarter".

On March 17, Volkswagen Caminhões & Ônibus (VWCO) announced the debut of its electric truck in Central America.
The first electric truck 100% developed and produced in Latin America has just landed in Guatemala, available to the entire market.
Two e-Delivery units have already arrived and were delivered to Coca-Cola FEMSA Guatemala, which demonstrates that company’s commitment to invest in innovation and sustainable technologies.
With the new business, FEMSA consolidates itself as the second largest VW electric fleet in Brazil and abroad, with 33 units.
These new e-Delivery trucks are a milestone in Latin and international engineering, based on the experience and work of more than 150 Brazilian professionals dedicated to the project to create the first 100% electric truck produced in Latin America.
The VW e-Delivery is already on sale in Brazil, Mexico and Paraguay.
