August 2019 Malaysian vehicle sales go up by 0.58%

The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) has released vehicle sales data for the month of August 2019, which saw 51,148 units delivered in the month, representing a gain of 295 units – or 0.58% – from the 50,853 units recorded in July.

However the August 2019 figures are 22% lower compared to the same month last year, in which 65,550 units were delivered to customers, a difference of 14,402 units.

This is also reflected in the year-to-date total industry volume (TIV), where 398,335 units were delivered in the first eight months of 2019 compared to 423,615 units in the same period last year – a 6% variance.

For the month of September 2019, the association expects sales volume to be at the same level as it was in August due to the number of public holidays shortening the number of working days.

      I am worried about Proton sales. 90% of its sales are the Proton X70 aka Boyue.

      Proton cars now have difficult sales. This is very sad because as the Boyue aka Proton X70 is CBU from China, all profits go back to China and Geely of China

      Proton does not make a sen on the Proton X70 sold in Malaysia

      So, how is our beloved Proton going to survive?

      • I you’re worried about Proton sales, you should be more worried about Perodua airbag quality. Until now they did not issue any recalls despite using the same airbag modules as Toyota. Yet zero recall until today, their cars are moving time bombs.

    • Perodua is reducing while Proton is increasing, I can see why P2 trolls are getting more active. Cause of no sales.
