The automotive sector in Brazil is not going through its best. The economic recession is causing sales results are nothing good and as such suffice it to say that last September has been the worst in the last decade.
D uring the past month registrations of new vehicles in Brazil registered a drop of no less than 32.1% compared with the same month last year, reaching a total volume of 192.610 units.
If we look at the year to date things are not much better, a decrease of 22.0% over the same period of 2014 and a total of 1,881,671 units delivered new customers.
Despite this positive outlook anything there are some brands that are achieving excellent results as Jeep increasing its deliveries by more than 1,400% thanks to Renegade locally made or Mercedes to increase by 59, 2% of their registrations.
