Productions of four automakers are paralyzed in Brazil, raising rumors of crisis

Last Monday, the 20th, four automakers announced the stoppage of production at some factories in Brazil. So far, Hyundai, General Motors, Stellantis (responsible for the Fiat, Peugeot and Citröen brands) and Volkswagen have confirmed the pauses.

After confirmation, a climate of crisis was installed and doubts arose about possible difficulties. High values ​​in the auto market, shortages of parts and influence of the global economy were cited during the announcement. According to information from the G1, automakers will grant collective vacations to their employees in the last days of March and the first days of April.

Automakers suspend production

All four companies claim that the service stoppage is due to the troubled scenario in the global economy, which suggests that the shortage of parts is not the main reason. The influence of the economy has caused car prices to rise and grow significantly during the last few years.

For manufacturers, the ideal is to adjust the production period of cars and avoid an accumulation of cars in inventories, which is due to high prices in the current scenario.
