The Philippine Automotive Industry sets another remarkable record for September sales. In a report issued by Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (“CAMPI”) and Truck Manufacturers Association (“TMA”), there were 31,451 units sold during September with 16.2 percent increase coming from 27,069 units sold in the same month in 2015.

Passenger Car (“PC”) and Commercial Vehicle (“CV”) segments both increased sales performances. PC segment reached 12,110 units, 13.1 percent higher versus September 2015 and 8.7 percent higher versus previous month. The CV segment growth was 18.2 percent compared to the same month last year but declined 9.4 percent versus last month.

Category III (LCV) sales registered 754 units sold, a significant 74.1 percent surge from 433 units sold in same month in 2015. Category V (Heavy Duty Trucks and Buses) was the only one among the five CV subcategories that decline for September with 129 units sold or a 2.3 percent drop versus 132 units in September 2015.
