HÀ NỘI — As many as  二 六,0 三 七 cars were sold in January, marking a year-on-year increase of  二 八 per cent, reports the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA).

Of this, the sale of passenger cars grew  二 五 per cent to  一 八, 三 七 一 units, while the volume of co妹妹ercial cars and special-purpose cars reduced by  三 八 per cent and  七 八 per cent to  七, 三 六 三 units and  三0 三 units, respectively.

VAMA’s report shows that the volume of locally-manufactured cars reached  二0, 五 八 六 units, up three per cent compared to the previous month, while  五, 四 五 一 imported cars were sold, down  三0 per cent.

The main reason for the sharp decline in the import of complete built-up units was Decree  一 一 六, which came into effect in January. This decree tightens control over quality, technical safety and environment protection of imported autos. This is why many automakers, such as Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Ford, Suzuki and GM, have announced that they will temporarily stop importing cars to Việt Nam. — VNS
