4 11.5 to 11.10.2018 Salão do Automóvel S ão Paulo - Vehicle sales in October totaled 254 thousand 732 units, the highest monthly volume since December 2014 according to information released by Anfavea on Wednesday, 7, in a press conference at Salão do Automóvel. In comparison with the same period last year, when 202 thousand 857 vehicles were sold, the increase was of 25.6%. Compared to September, when 213 thousand 339 vehicles were registered, growth of 19.4%. Sales reached 2 million 100 thousand 957 units this year, increase of 15.3% in the comparison with the same period last year. According to Antonio Megale, president of Anfavea, October is historically good. This year, however, the result was surprising because a smaller increase was expected due to the elections impact on sales - which did not happen: “The daily average of October was 11.6 thousand units, but there were some days when we registered more than 20 thousand vehicles, which shows that the industry is on track to return to the volume sold before the crisis”. October was the best sales month in almost two years Caio Bednarski | caio@autodata.com.br Photo: Disclosure.
