For the first half of 2010, the car industry in Vietnam sold 50,278 cars, up 5% year on year, the association said.
Car sales have picked up slowly along with the economy, which expanded an estimated 6.4% in the second quarter from a year earlier, accelerating from growth of 5.83% in the first three months.
Car imports, which have been limited by the government as part of measures to reduce the country’s trade deficit, rose 27.6% in the first six months of 2010 from a year earlier to US$1.29bn, government statistics show.
