The mystery that the government has done around the announcement of the discount for the extension of Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI) in new vehicles worked.

Result, ended March with 271,393 units sold for cars, light commercial, trucks and buses.
The demand was 36.1% higher compared to February, when 199,402 vehicles were emplacados and 16.8% over March 2008, when 232,177 units were sold. The data was released this Friday (3) by the National Federation of the Distribution of Motor Vehicles (Fenabrave).
This was the best first quarter in the history of national auto industry.
With the outcome of March, the first quarter of this year closes with the sum of 668,319 vehicles emplacados, performance above the 3.13% recorded in the same period last year, when 648,019 units were sold. That is, the best first quarter in the history of national auto industry. The best month to date is still July of 2008 with 288.1 thousand cars sold.
