The association said a lack of stock held back commercial vehicle sales during the month.  Passenger car sales rose by 3.1% year-on-year to 3,766 units, while commercial vehicle sales fell by 7.8% to 6,684 units.


In the five months to May, vehicles sales declined by 3.7% to 49,002 units compared with 50,883 units a year earlier. The association is still optimistic that its earlier market forecasts for 2009 of 130,000 sales will be achieved, citing a stable domestic banking environment as a key positive factor.
