Likewise, the national scenario was very positive, according to Anfavea (National Association of Automotive Vehicle Manufacturers.

In June, in a single day, 27,000 registrations were registered. The fact already represents the third largest daily registration in history. The number of registrations well above the average is a reflection of MP 1,175/23 of the federal government, which provided a discount on car prices between R$ 2,000 and R$ 8,000 on national models priced up to R$ 120,000.
“We estimate that of the R$ 800 million released by the government for light vehicles, R$ 710 million had already been invested by the end of the month, resulting in discounts for around 150,000 units. However, only 54,000 of them were licensed in June”, said the president of Anfavea.

government measures
