For the month of October, the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) reported that the local automotive industry reached 40,014 units sold.
Toyota Motor Philippines continues to be the most popular manufacturer in the country as it recorded 20,404 units sold in October, which accounts for a commanding 60 percent market share.

CAMPI and TMA reported that the Commercial Vehicles led the market in terms of Year-To-Date (YTD) sales with nearly 80 percent share and a 7.9 percent YTD increase. It’s a different story when you look at the Passenger Cars, as it declined 23.2 percent YTD.
The Electrified Vehicles also showed a positive sales run when you look at the YTD numbers. The Electric Vehicle sales surged with 24,265 units sold YTD, which is driven by notable hybrid sales.

Hybrid vehicle sales are led by Toyota, with 14,794 units sold YTD. Toyota can further extend its lead in hybrid vehicle sales with the introduction of the all-new Ativ. It is followed by Honda Cars Philippines, Inc., with 1,572 YTD sales, and Ford with 845 units sold.
