February sees Brazil’s truck market growth gather momentum

ANFAVEA has released data for February 2018 registrations, production and exports for Brazil’s commercial vehicle market, and once again, the picture painted by the data is a very positive one.

For sake of accurate comparison, February 2018 contained the same number of working days – 20 – as did February 2017.
