PSR Analysis: Approval of this regulation is the kickoff of a new market for new Trailers as well as the retrofit of existing trailers in the market. The promise of up to 25% of Diesel consumption is very welcome on the scenario of Diesel Shortage and price escalation.
There is definitely a demand in the market, and we will see growing volumes both in OEM and Retrofitting (IAM) markets depending on product sale prices. As part of the Randon group, one of the biggest trailer manufacturers in Brazil, Suspensys provides the capabilities to grow sales and increase profitability.
