The manufacturer said 198,405 motorcycles were sold last month, up 20.8 per cent from July and 100.8 per cent from the same period last year.

The Wave Alpha series marked the best performance among manual transmission ones with 43,349 vehicles delivered, accounting for 21.8 per cent of total sales.

Meanwhile, sales of automatic transmission motorcycles bounced back considerably after months of chip and component shortages. Vision was the best-selling series with 48,000 vehicles sold, making up 24.2 per cent of the joint venture’s total sales in August.

Apart from the domestic market, Honda Vietnam also exported 18,366 completely-built-up motorcycles to foreign markets.

Last month, it also saw a rise of 0.5 per cent in automobile sales in Viet Nam.

In the first five months of Honda Vietnam’s 2023 fiscal year (from April 2022 to March 2023), the firm sold 850,469 motorcycles and 13,968 automobiles in the domestic market, respectively up 15.6 per cent and 107.7 per cent from a year earlier. — VNS
