According to him, this performance can be explained by the increase in retail vehicle sales, the good performance of the job market, the increase in credit granting and default indicators, which are stable.
This morning, the National Federation of Motor Vehicle Distribution (Fenabrave) announced that the sale of new vehicles – including cars and light commercial vehicles, buses and trucks – had a positive performance last year, with the registration of 2,634,514 units, an increase of 14.15% compared to 2023. For the president of the entity, Arcelio Alves dos Santos Júnior, the result is mainly due to the supply of credit.
