In January, we might have a better scenario than any of the three just described, states Hilário Haruomi Kobayashi, first vice president of Abraciclo. “We will have to face those adjustments that the government plans to introduce in the tax reform; therefore, depending on the changes to be introduced, the industrial operations in Manaus could be impacted. We must preserve the regional incentives currently in place to maintain the sustainability of the businesses.” Even among so many question marks, one thing should not change: sales will continue to be generated by the same factors as in 2020. Namely, higher demand for bikes for professional use, mainly in the delivery and motorcycle-taxis market, scooters experimenting growing demand as a low-cost option for people who want to avoid public transportation on account of the pandemic, as well as motorcycles with bigger engines, with both on-road e off-road capabilities, acquired for leisure. In terms of production, it is expected that in 2020 a total of 937 thousand motorcycles will roll off the assembly lines, which would translate into a reduction of 15.4% as compared to 2019. Out of this volume, Abraciclo projects that 905 thousand units will be sold in the internal market, for a decline of 16% when compared to the relevant period. Exports should be of 28 thousand units or a fall of 27.5% da pandemia e motocicletas commotores maiores, comcapacidade on-road e off-road, compradas para lazer dos consumidores.
