Naamsa welcomes uptick in October new-vehicle sales

The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers South Africa (Naamsa) on Thursday said the latest domestic new-vehicle sales figures for October reflected an unexpected and welcome uptick of 1.7% to 51 866 units sold, which was largely supported by fairly strong growth in the various commercial vehicle segments. Aggregate industry domestic sales for the month represented the highest single months’ total to date this year.
