KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — Malaysia’s automotive total industry volume (TIV) increased five per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to 73,615 units in July 2026 from 70,057 units in the same month last year, mainly attributed to the rise in monthly production volume and pick-up sales.
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.
Meanwhile, production rose five per cent y-o-y to 75,490 units from 71,739 units previously, it said.
Passenger vehicle production expanded to 71,713 units from 67,375 units in July 2025, while commercial vehicle output fell to 3,777 units from 4,364 units previously, it said.
For August 2026, MAA expects sales to maintain the current momentum, supported by aggressive promotion. — Bernama
