Brazilian automotive output falls 25% in October

Brazil's automotive production dropped by 24.8% year on year in October amid a global microchip shortage and a stoppage of truckers in the Port of Santos, S??o Paulo.

Light vehicle production totaled 177,900 units last month, compared with 236,500 units a year earlier.
Anfavea, the national association of motor vehicle manufacturers, said that production was affected by suspensions among carmakers because of the semiconductor shortage.
