JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post) : Domestic vehicle sales increased by 60 percent to 39,423 in June from 24,566 in the same month last year.
The increase was in line with semester-to-semester sales growth of 32 percent to 197,320 units in the first semester of the year compared with 149,634 during the same period of 2006, said Toyota Astra Motor president director Johnny Darmawan on Wednesday.
"This increase indicates an improvement in Indonesia's economy," he said.
Toyota still led the market with a 33.8 percent share in June. It sold 13,307 vehicles during the month, an increase of 54 percent from 8,646 units in the same month last year.
Its first-semester sales, however, rose by only 11 percent to 69,092 units from 61,805 in the January-June period of 2006.
Automotive firms sold a total of 318,884 vehicles in Indonesia last year. Johnny said that he was optimistic the number would increase to around 410,000 in 2007.
