MOTOR
INDUSTRY TAKES HEAVY STRAIN
All
facets of the South African motor industry
have taken strain during the first half
of 2007. One of the biggest blunders came
with the introduction of e-NaTIS.
COMMERCIAL
VEHICLE SALES
Strong
commercial vehicle sales have softened
the blow to the total new vehicle market
for the first half of 2007.
EXPORTS
FROM SA ONLY MARGINALLY UP ON 2006
Global
exports of built-up vehicles from South
Africa for the first six months of 2007
totalled 81 218 units, which was less than
1 per cent (567 units) above the figure
for the first half of last year.
COMPONENT
MANUFACTURERS FACE NEW CHALLENGES
NAACAM
executive director Roger Pitot says local
automotive component makers have been severely
affected by the slowdown in South Africa’s
vehicle production and that consumers will
ultimately pay the price for the decline.
