Some 36,585 vehicles from different brands were sold nationwide in September, making an increase of 45% compared to the previous month and 44% against the same period last year, figures from VAMA show.

Of which, there were 19,500 domestically manufactured and assembled vehicles, up 62% month-on-month, and 17,085 imported units, surging 30% month-on-month.

The increase was attributed to a 50% cut in registration fees  for domestically manufactured and assembled vehicles, under a Government Decree which takes effect from September 1 to November 30 this year.
