Monthly production volume reached a 30-month high, mainly contributed by national models, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) said in a statement today.
Sales of passenger vehicles improved seven per cent y-o-y to 68,900 units in July 2026 from 64,438 units a year earlier, while commercial vehicle sales declined 16 per cent y-o-y to 4,715 units from 5,619 units previously.
