The president of Acara, Ricardo Salomé commented that “February ratified a start to the year with an acceptable two-month period, with figures similar to those of last year and with growth, although if there had been more cars available, the registrations would have been higher”.
“The lack of other investment options such as a vehicle, which also allows you to enjoy it quickly, has accelerated the decision to buy, although we continue to face the problem of the lack of a complete offer, due to global problems and local restrictions,” said the manager.
In this context, Salomé stressed that the conformation of the offer, but also of the demand, are supplied with “increasingly more national cars, which has opened a great opportunity for greater integration and promotion of national production.”
“This start of the year is auspicious but the best is yet to come, which is why we are excited that the 420,000 vehicles estimated for 2023 may only be one floor”he concluded.
