Hyundai Motor's vehicle sales inch up in September
SEOUL, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea's top auto maker, said Wednesday its September sales rose 0.6 percent from a year ago, helped by robust overseas demand.
Hyundai sold 190,227 units in September, compared with 189,031 a year ago, the company said in a filing to the Korea Exchange.
The company said it sold 158,778 units abroad last month, 13.1 percent higher
than the 140,428 units sold a year ago.
Its domestic sales, however, plunged 35.3 percent to 31,449 vehicles, according
to the filing.
In a statement, Hyundai attributed the sharp decline in domestic sales to
sporadic partial strikes over wage negotiations and weak demand on higher oil
prices.
In the first nine months of this year, Hyundai's domestic sales fell 3.5 percent
from a year ago to 440,763 units, while overseas sales gained 12.3 percent to
1.61 million units.
