[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Ssangyong Motor announced on the 1st that it sold a total of 8,778 units last month, including 6,277 units domestically and 2,501 units for export.


This represents an 83.7% increase compared to the previous month.


Ssangyong Motor explained that sales showed a recovery trend as they partially resolved the delivery backlog through securing additional semiconductor supplies in cooperation with parts suppliers and operating production lines efficiently.


They added that to resolve the delivery backlog of about 12,000 units, they are currently maintaining an all-out production and sales system by implementing overtime and extra shifts on both Line 1 and Line 3.


Domestic sales recorded the highest monthly sales this year, with all models, including The New Rexton Sports & Khan, showing a balanced recovery, increasing by more than 90% compared to the previous month.


In particular, The New Rexton Sports & Khan led the domestic recovery trend by recording 3,159 units sold, the highest monthly sales this year, increasing by more than 80% compared to the previous month, although there is still a delivery backlog of over 4,000 units.


Exports also increased by 66.7% compared to the previous month by resolving part of the backlog of over 5,000 units in back orders, continuing the recovery trend with a 44.7% increase compared to the cumulative total of the previous year.



A company official said, “Although domestic sales recorded the highest monthly performance this year, the delivery backlog has not yet decreased,” adding, “We will prioritize resolving the backlog by strengthening cooperation with parts suppliers to overcome the semiconductor supply shortage and operating production lines efficiently.”
