38% Increase Compared to the Same Month Last Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Ssangyong Motor announced on the 1st that it sold a total of 10,675 units in August, including 6,923 units domestically and 3,752 units for export.

Despite a decrease in operating days due to summer vacations, this performance marked a 38% increase compared to the same month last year, surpassing 10,000 units sold for two consecutive months, driven by increased sales of the Torres.

Domestic sales exceeded 6,000 units thanks to the Torres effect, breaking the record set last month, which was the highest sales this year, and showing a significant 42.4% increase compared to the same month last year.

In particular, with contracts exceeding 60,000 units, the Torres received favorable reviews in the market, leading the sales growth with a 32.2% increase compared to the previous month.

Exports, which hold a backlog of 2 to 3 months, also continued their recovery trend with a 30.5% increase compared to the same month last year.

Meanwhile, Ssangyong Motor is making every effort to ensure parts supply through close cooperation with parts suppliers to establish a stable production system for the Torres, including expanding production capacity by implementing a two-shift system on a weekly continuous basis.

Ssangyong Motor stated, “Thanks to the increase in Torres sales volume, sales have surpassed 10,000 units for two consecutive months, continuing the upward sales trend. We will not only establish an all-out production system but also work closely with parts suppliers to further increase sales volume in the second half of the year.”
