Mitsubishi Motors Philippines led total commercial vehicles sales for September 2004 based on combined reports provided by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA). Mitsubishi Motors Philippines sold a total of 990 units of commercial vehicles composed of Adventure, L300, Space Gear, L200 pick ups, Outlander and Pajero SUVs and Fuso Canter light trucks, in September for a 22.2 percent market share of the total commercial vehicle category. Toyota sold only a total of 929 units of commercial vehicles in September but nonetheless led total overall sales with 2,029 units for a 27.3 percent market share due to its strong passenger car sales performance.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines though reported that sales of its commercial vehicles in September dropped slightly by 3 percent versus August. Mitsubishi attributes the decline to the limited supply of its saleable units such as Adventure, L300 and Pajero models brought about by shortage in local parts by its vendor.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Assistant Vice President for Marketing Services, Froilan Dytianquin said that “We are still optimistic that the last quarter will produce better sales performance for the automotive industry due to seasonality, and the aggressiveness of all assemblers to carry out consumer related promotions to make vehicles more affordable.” “For MMPC, we project better sales this month due to improved availability of our Adventure models. We are also very pleased that sales of the Adventure models has been improving for the past few months and this can only be credited to the Adventure’s improved quality level and good overall value for money proposition”, Dytianquin added.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines also reported that sales of its passenger cars sales, mainly composed of the Lancer 1.6 liter models improved by 65 percent, with sales of 187 units versus 113 units in August. Both Toyota and Honda dominated the passenger car sales for September with sales of 1,093 units (36.5 percent market share) and 712 units (23.8 percent market share), respectively due to its small passenger car sales.

Meantime, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines was able to keep its No.2 position in overall year to date sales with total sales of 9,298 units, representing 14.4 percent market share. Toyota Motors Philippines leads the industry, with 21,912 units for a 33.9 percent market share. Honda ranks third with a total of 8,317 units for a 12.9 percent market share.
