Changes to Panamanian Automotive Market

The French company Renault has completed negotiations with a new local distributor to market the brand in the country, where they initially plan to serve about 2 thousand customers.

After several months of negotiations and without revealing details of the conditions of the deal, the Panamanian group Petro Autos, through its subsidiary Advance Motors, announced that it will start selling the European brand in the local market.

Regarding the use of the subsidiary Advance Motors, Abadía added that " ...We will be working with a subsidiary because Petro Autos is a Hyundai dealer, which is more of a mass market brand, while Renault is aimed at another market and the processes are different."
