May auto sales up 12.4% to 68,007, MAA reports
A Perodua customer care executive (right) assisting a customer at a showroom in Sungai Buloh. — AZLINA ABDULLAH/The Star KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) reported that the automotive sector's total industry volume (TIV) rose by 12.4% month-on-month in May 2025, reaching 68,007 units compared to 60,527 units in April. In a statement, MAA said the higher TIV in May 2025 was due to a higher number of working days compared to April, ongoing strong promotional activities, and the delivery of vehicles from bookings made in the first quarter of 2025. However, on a year-on-year basis, MAA said the TIV fell by 3.2% from the 70,254 units recorded in May 2024. MAA noted that a total of 65,970 vehicles were produced in May this year, down 11.6% from the same month last year. 'TIV for June 2025 is expected to be lower than in May 2025 due to a one-week plant shutdown during Hari Raya Aidiladha by major makes,' MAA said in its outlook for June.
