More than 15,000 cars imported to Vietnam in August

Among imported vehicles, cars with fewer than nine seats continued to account for the largest share with 12,776 units, representing 84.8% of the total number of cars imported into Vietnam in August. However, compared to the previous month, this number decreased by 8.8%, equivalent to a decrease of 1,239 units. This reflects a slowdown in the passenger car market, although it still maintains a significant advantage.

Regarding major import markets, Thailand leads with 6,384 units, followed by Indonesia with 5,770 units and China with 2,443 units. These three countries account for 97% of the total number of completely assembled cars imported into Vietnam, demonstrating a significant dependence on partners in the Southeast Asian region.

In addition, the number of imported trucks in August also decreased significantly. Specifically, only 1,351 trucks were imported, with a total value of US$36.7 million, a decrease of nearly 40% compared to the previous month.
