Brazil vehicle production up 20.0%, exports up 14.8% in March (ANFAVEA)
On March 7, the Associacao Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veiculos Automores (ANFAVEA) announced that Brazilian vehicle production (excluding CKD production) in March 2023 of 221,835 units represented an increase of 20.0% from March 2022.
Of the vehicles produced in March, 167,662 were passenger cars; 39,890 were commercial vehicles; 12,325 were trucks and 1,958 were buses.
A total of 536,019 vehicles were produced in the three months of 2023, up 8.0% year-on-year.
Exports of 44,663 assembled vehicles in March represented an 14.8% increase from the units exported in March 2022.
Of the vehicles exported in March, 35,782 were passenger cars; 6,874 were commercial vehicles; 1,792 were trucks, and 215 buses.
A total of 2,070 CKD kits were exported in March, consisting of 1,746 trucks and 324 buses.
Vehicle exports in the three months of 2023 totaled 112,244 units, up 3.9% year-on-year.
According to ANFAVEA, despite the improved numbers in March, the accumulated production in the first quarter is still about 50 thousand units below the pre-pandemic levels. "In these first three months we had eight plant shutdowns and two shift cancellations, somewhat similar to the shutdowns seen in early 2022. The difference is that last year the reason was only the lack of components, while now there are other factors causing collective vacations, such as the cooling of demand," explained Márcio de Lima Leite, president of Anfavea, noting that there are new shutdowns announced for April.
