New vehicle sales in Thailand down by 67.5% in November

New vehicle sales in Thailand down by 67.5% in NovemberReports indicate that new vehicle sales in Thailand dropped 67.5% in November from the same period a year earlier, the result of supply shortages brought about by the suspension of production due to the recent flood crisis.

While total sales volume for the year was 739,506 units, a figure that is up by 4.6% compared to the year before, new vehicle sales in November totalled only 25,664 units. Toyota remained the market leader, with a 15.8% share of total new vehicles sold during the month, while Mitsubishi Motors came in second with a 13.9% share.

Passenger car sales in Thailand, meanwhile, fell 62.1% on year to 12,746 units, with Honda taking a 22.2% share for the lead, and Nissan a close second with a market share of 21.1%. Elsewhere, the reports add that sales of commercial vehicles, including that of one-tonne pick-up trucks, slumped 71.5% to 12,918 units. Leader Mitsubishi had 24.9% of the market, while Isuzu was second with 20.1%.

        Yes, I agree with you. I drive a Honda City and it’s a good and reliable car. It’s the cheapest Honda car in Malaysia.

          But the real price of City (without import tax) is only around RM60,000…….
          For me Insight is better, slightly higher price yes but should the the best selling Honda at the moment :)..

    Honda Malaysia should expand its plant in Melaka, Honda Thailand then can relocate to Melaka, assemble cars there and export to other countries. Of course this won’t happen, only in our dreams coz G won’t allow it.
