FTI reports highest domestic auto sales in November
BANGKOK, Dec 24 (TNA) – Thailand's domestic sales of vehicles in November totalled 57,031 units, the highest monthly figure in 2009 and representing a 23.8 per cent increase year-on–year, according to Surapong Paisitpatnapong, spokesman of the Automotive Industry Club of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
The higher auto sales were due to a continued increase in consumer confidence thanks to the government’s economic stimulus packages since the second quarter of this year.
Motorcycle sales in November reached 130,264 units, a 3.94 per cent increase from the same month last year while vehicle production amounted to 120,985 units, a 4.26 per cent increase year-on-year, said Surapong, adding that it was recorded as the highest in the past 13 months.
The production from January to November 2009 accounted for 887,656 units in total, a 32.21 per cent drop from the same period last year.
Meanwhile, auto production for export in November was recorded at 64,181 units, a 2.89 percent increase from the same period last year thanks to more export orders from Asian and Australian markets, said the spokesman.
Auto production for domestic sales in November totalled 56, 804 units, a 5.86 per cent increase year-on-year due to a sales increase since September. (TNA)
