Specifically, motor vehicles carrying 5 or more people increased by 26.8%; wiring harnesses for motor vehicles also increased by 11.0%.

For the mining industry, many mining areas have expired while new mineral mines have not been put into operation, leading to a shortage of production materials, causing the mining industry of Hai Duong province to decrease by 9.3%, affecting the general index by 0.01%.
