August vehicle sales up by 36%

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) expects vehicle sales in September to be maintained at August levels, despite being affected by the ongoing shortages of chips and components.

In a statement, MAA said vehicle sales for August grew by 36% to 66,614 units from 48,922 units in July, as automotive companies fulfilled bookings received prior to June 30, 2022, which are entitled for the sales tax exemption.
