Brazil: New Vehicle Sales Slip in June.

Brazil's new vehicle sales edged down 0.8% month-over-month to 272,500 units in June 2026 after surging 10.6% in May. A new Provisional Measure introduced a government-backed discount program for new vehicles aimed at promoting sustainability and fleet renewal. Its effects only began to emerge in the final week of June but were enough to make it the second-best sales month of the year. Around 79,000 discounted vehicles had been delivered to dealerships but were not yet registered, pointing to stronger sales in July. Passenger car sales fell 0.8%, while light commercial vehicle sales declined 4.9%. In contrast, truck sales rose 15.9% and bus sales jumped 36.7%.
