CAOA will stop manufacturing Hyundai cars in Brazil, with the end of production at the Anápolis Factory (GO) expected to occur between October and November this year, according to information from the portal UOL.
As a result, models such as New Tucson and HR truck will no longer be produced locally, marking the end of a nearly 20 -year partnership that resulted in over 500,000 vehicles manufactured.
According to the UOLthree Asian brands sought CAOA to produce vehicles at the Goiás factory, with the Chinese Dongfeng, Changan and Baic among the main competitors to occupy the space.
