While most of Brazil’s auto industry currently operates in the country’s southeast region, the country’s northeast region is now gaining attraction from investors. The agreement between Amsia Motors and the Northern Brazil government not only marks the launch of a plan to build the first auto plant in the region, which is also set to be the company’s first owned auto plant, but also marks a step towards automotive market growth in a region that no one ever imagined would be attractive to automotive companies.
