Now things do not improve...
Following the trend of this 2019, last June's sales were lower than those of May, which had been lower than those of April, which in turn ... and so since January, presenting June a fall of 45.5% of what goes of the year.
The data thrown by the C.A.F.A.M. (Camera Manufacturers of Motor Vehicles) show that only 21,484 units have been patented, or about 5,287 less than last month.
As it has been happening since the beginning of 2019, the most sold bikes were those with the smallest cylinders, with 110cc in the first position.
Despite having signed an agreement with the Government, giving life again to the plan Now 12 and Now 18, it was not enough even to stop the fall in sales. It is true that this new version of Plans Now 12 and 18 has a surcharge of 20% interest, that although it is less than a normal fee, which applied 40%, is far from the original version whose interest was of 0%.
Regarding these plans, the President of C.A.F.A.M. Lino Stefanuto said on June 3: "The programs Now 12 and Now 18 recently promoted by the national government, are a very important engine and an opportunity to reactivate the sales of motor vehicles, which has been going down for months, we are very optimistic that it will be an important tool to generate demand and encourage consumption in the sector. "But as the numbers show, it has not worked.
A few days ago the Government announced some improvements to the Plans, which consist of extending to every day of the week for the purchase of motorcycles. An increase in the fundable amount to $ 120,000 and finally a 0% interest rate.
Regarding this Lino Stefanuto said: "Beyond the context, we are convinced that with the new announcements that the Government will make to improve the conditions of the program Now 12 and 18 for the sector, we will have a satisfactory response from the users, who will have greater financial facilities to acquire units. "
As in the month of June, the President of C.A.F.A.M., supported by an increase in consultations at the concessionaires, once again places great hopes in the changes made to the measures of Ahora 12 and 18 and seems not to understand, as well as the Government of Mauricio Macri, the importance of the context in which we live, a context in which terrible inflation and high unemployment rates are the order of the day.
Unemployment generated by dismissals in the motor vehicle sector itself. As for example the ones that Zanella has just announced from its factories in San Luis and Córdoba. In the province of San Luis there are 42 out of a total of 100 employees, while in Córdoba there are about 25 people left without work.
