[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] SsangYong Motor announced on the 1st that it sold a total of 7,152 vehicles in March, including 4,306 units domestically and 2,846 units for export.


Although this represents a 23.5% decrease compared to March of last year, the resumption of parts supply from partner companies and the normalization of factory operations led to a 156.4% increase compared to the previous month, showing signs of recovery.


SsangYong Motor explained that through factory operations, the backlog of domestic and overseas deliveries caused by the 14-day shutdown in February was resolved, normalizing sales.


Due to production operations focused on export volumes, where the delivery backlog was severe, domestic sales decreased by 37.2% compared to the same month last year, but exports increased by 14.5%.



A SsangYong Motor official said, "With the resumption of parts supply, both domestic and export sales are normalizing," adding, "As the production line is operating normally, we will recover global sales through the launch of improved models and new vehicles such as electric cars."
