KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's vehicle sales increased to 48,553 units in July 2017 from 42,483 units in the same month last year, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) said.
Sales volume in July 2017 was higher by 14 per cent or 6,070 units compared with the corresponding month last year, it said in a statement today.
"For passenger vehicles, sales in July 2017 rose to 43,524 units compared with 37,661 units while commercial vehicle sales improved to 5,029 units from 4,822," it added.
MAA said the total industry volume for the year-to-date was 4.7 per cent higher compared with the corresponding period last year.
On outlook, it said sales volume for August 2017 was expected to be slightly better than July because of the on-going promotional campaign by car companies and fulfilment of back orders as the 'e-daftar' system was expected to return to normalcy.
