31 AutoData | November 2018 “We projected low-two-digit in the domestic market growth and production more or less in the same proportion, maybe slightly below two digits.” Antônio Megale, president of Anfavea “Considering Brazil and Argentina as a whole, we don’t see a crisis scenario next year.” Carlos Zarlenga, president of General Motors Mercosur “We registered decreases that were worse than the GDP in the crisis years, and it is natural, then, to grow above it. In 2019, we will cross the R$ 100 billion in revenues [in auto parts].” Dan Ioschpe, president of Sindipeças “The market is expected to grow from 5% to 10% since there is no trust level deterioration and Selic and risk to invest in Brazil remain at current levels.” Rogelio Golfarb, vice president of Ford “The current situation leads us to believe that there is no reason to expect a market below 2.6 million units next year.” Antonio Filosa, president of FCA for Latin America “The market will grow next year and our intention is to keep the steady evolution we have registered so far.” Alejandro Botero, commercial vice president of Renault “Next year the market will grow, but at a slow pace. Our progress will come from new models, the chain advancements and the quality increase in services.” Mauro Correia, president of Caoa “We expect to maintain the framework already seen in the domestic market in 2018, with growth trend. The Brazilian started to buy vehicles again.” Pablo Di Si, president of Volkswagen South America “As in 2018, direct sales of 2019 will also push the increase upwards: they are expected to grow 12.8% while retail sales are expected to rise only 3.4%.” Miguel Fonseca, executive vice president of Toyota “Growth will depend on political definitions, but I believe the market will evolve regardless of the elections outcome.” José Luiz Vendramini, commercial director of Nissan
