Proton records sales of 8,102 cars in July, highest in 30 months


Demand was expected to continue even after the SST takes force as cars have been regarded as a necessity by the people

KUALA LUMPUR: National car manufacturer Proton Holdings Bhd recorded sales of 8,102 cars in July,  the highest in the last 30 months, spurred by the zero-rated Good and Services Tax (GST)  from June to August, with  the Saga being the top seller.

Proton said on Thursday the sales in July had increased by 31% from June. It increased its market share from 9.6% in June to 11.7% of total industry volume (TIV). It also resumed its export sales with 517 cars shipped.
