Total sales for the first 10 months of 2005 grew 27.3% year-on-year to 911,811 units from last year’s 716,222. The increase was primarily due to a large increase in exports of complete vehicles and knockdown (KD) kits.


Exports in October rose 45% to 103,123 units from last October’s 71,095, exceeding 100,000 on a monthly basis for the first time in the company’s three-year history. Strong demand for vehicles assembled in China, Thailand, India, Colombia and Venezuela fuelled a big rise in KD exports to 50,774 units, up 80% on the 28,208 units exported in the same month last year.


Exports of complete vehicles increased 22.1% in October 2005 to 52,349 units from last October’s 42,887 units.
