The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said sales were up 70.54% with 832,600 passenger cars sold in the month. The figure compared to July 2008 sales of 488,200.
That was, however, short of the 872,900 units sold in June.

Earlier this week, Ford’s Chinese joint venture said it had sold over 50% more vehicles in July than in the same period last year.
