Car sales in Chihuahua recover

CHIHUAHUA – For the third consecutive month, new car sales in the state of Chihuahua continued to recover and during May 2021 increased by 123.8% at annual rate.

Data from the Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA) show that from 1,063 new cars sold in May 2020, the figure rose to 2,379 in 2021, a difference of 1,316 cars.

In March it increased by 19% and then rose by 174.40% in April, followed by a increase of 123.80% in May.

At the national level, AMDA reported an increase of 104.4% in the annual comparison, going from 42,019 units sold in May 2020 to 85,897.
