From the employer they assure that “we are well above our initial forecasts at the beginning of the year“, however, they note that “maintaining a growing trend is always positive, but we are far from pre-pandemic registrations”.
Through a letter, Fecavem reports that the production of European and national vehicles “is overcoming supply problems due to the lack of microchips”. In addition, they explain that to analyze the February data it is necessary to take into account “the proximity of Holy Week”, since “it has an important effect on registrations, especially in the rentacar channel and company fleets. We can conclude that Easter has been a repulsive dynamizer of the market this year.”
