Vehicle sales decline marginally

MAA was more upbeat about its outlook for March

PETALING JAYA: Sales of passenger and commercial vehicles in Malaysia declined marginally by 1% or 499 units in August compared to a year ago, but increased by 6.5% or 3,167 units compared to the previous month.

The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) said the month-on-month increase was on the back of promotional campaigns by car companies as well as the fulfilment of back orders as the “e-daftar” system returned to normalcy.
