Total vehicle sales in M'sia set to soar

PETALING JAYA: Total vehicle sales in January is expected to surpass the 55,066 units registered last year, mainly due to improved market clarity and aggressive sales promotions by car companies, industry experts said.

Frost & Sullivan partner and head of automotive and transportation practice for Asia-Pacific, Kavan Mukhtyar, noted that in January last year, many buyers were holding back their purchases on expectation that prices would drop after the elections.
