Associação Automóvel de Portugal — the Automobile Association of Portugal
An association of car dealers and importers. It makes no decisions and issues no documents, but every month it publishes how many cars, and which ones, were registered, and these are the figures newspapers quote when they write about the car market, electric cars and the shortage of chargers.
Where you come across it. News about car sales and the charging network, industry statements ahead of the budget for the coming year.
This is the voice of the car trade, not of the state: for taxes and registration, look to the IMT and the tax authority, not to the association's statements.
