The auto industry recorded a 14.8-percent sales increase during the first four months of this year due to a continued strong demand for commercial vehicles.
“The Philippine auto industry thus far, is bucking the general trend seen in other countries such as the US, where rising fuel prices coupled with a softening economy resulted in a downward trend in commercial vehicle sales,” Elizabeth H. Lee, president of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI) said.
From January to April, auto sales reached 39,981 units of which 11,078 units were sold in April alone.
Commercial vehicles continue to dominate the local market covering 66 percent of total vehicle sales nationwide.
