Vehicle production has come to a halt in Thailand and sales operations have also been disrupted across the country – either directly or as a result of falling vehicle supply after months of record sales.
Many vehicle manufacturers have been hit by supply shortages from component manufacturers located in the flood-affected areas. Customers are also asking dealers to postpone deliveries until after the floods recede.
Sales in the January-September period increased by 20.6% to a record 670,970 units, from 556395 units a year earlier.
