Malaysia’s CV sales held up in November, supported by promotions despite falling production levels, according to the MAA.
MAA Expects Momentum to Carry Through into December
Commercial vehicle (CV) sales in Malaysia remained strong in November 2025, even as production volumes continued to decline, according to the latest Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) report.
A total of 5,201 commercial vehicles were sold in November 2025, up one per cent compared with the same month last year. However, year-to-date sales painted a bleaker picture, with only 54,085 units sold from January to November 2025, representing an 11 per cent decline compared with the corresponding period in 2024.
Production of commercial vehicles weakened further this month. In November 2025, 3,896 CV units were produced, down three per cent from November last year. On a year-to-date basis, commercial vehicle production only managed to reach 38,805 units, reflecting a seven per cent contraction compared to last year.
In general, the MAA noted that Total Industry Volume (TIV) for November 2025 fell by 4.6 per cent compared with October, when the industry hit its peak performance this year. In spite of the month-on-month decline, November’s sales remained comparatively strong.
According to the association, sales were supported by the continuation of aggressive promotional campaigns that began in October, as well as a rush to purchase CBU battery electric vehicles ahead of the expiry of tax exemptions at the end of the year.
The MAA expects the positive sales momentum to carry through into December 2025.
