Eduardo Visbal, Vice President of Foreign Trade and Vehicles of Fenalco, said that "it is expected that this year there will be a significant rebound to reach 265,000 units, thus meeting the dammed demand that exists in the sector due to the global logistics crisis, the shortage of electronic components."

At the same time, he indicated that vehicle importers and the entire commercial chain of the sector are ready to bet on new combustion and safety technologies so that the country advances in these matters.
Productive chains
The ANDI-Fenalco alliance #En4ruedas highlighted that in 2021 the automotive sector actively contributed to the process of economic reactivation of the country.

As indicated, this is part of an important chain of multiple productive chains, trade and an important network of workshops and automotive centers, which generate more than 500,000 jobs along the production chain (26,000), marketing (106,000), repair and maintenance (293,000).

Juliana Rico, director of the Chamber of the Automotive Industry of the ANDI, highlighted the importance of the sector in the economy, mainly for its contribution to GDP, the generation of highly qualified employment, exports and its more than twelve productive chains that involve different related sectors.
