YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Restoring profitable growth in a volatile vehicle market
- Chile registered 302,878 new light and medium vehicle sales in 2024, still well below the 415,581-unit peak of 2021, pressuring pricing and inventory decisions.
- YCP turns demand signals into granular market scenarios, portfolio priorities and dealer actions, helping companies rebuild growth while safeguarding margins.
Making electrification viable beyond early adopters
- Zero- and low-emission light vehicles represented only 1.5% of Chile’s 2024 new-vehicle market, despite a national goal of 100% zero-emission sales by 2035.
- Bridging this gap requires coordinated economics and execution; YCP designs EV propositions, charging partnerships and go-to-market plans for local demand.
Navigating the shift to cleaner, safer mobility
- Chile targets zero-emission sales for all new urban public-transport buses by 2035 and freight vehicles by 2045, increasing transition complexity for fleets and suppliers.
- YCP connects regulatory requirements with fleet economics, operating models and phased roadmaps, enabling stakeholders to prioritize investments with confidence.
Building resilience in an import-dependent value chain
- Chile stretches more than 4,300 km from north to south, while virtually all new vehicles are imported, amplifying exposure to shipping, currency and lead-time swings.
- Greater resilience starts with end-to-end visibility; YCP supports sourcing strategies, network design and inventory planning to improve service and cost control.
