The MAA attributes the strong growth to overall better performance across the board, improved supply chain, and car companies' National Day promotional campaigns.
Meanwhile, total industry production of 67,912 units in August was up from 66,862 units in July. 
In September, the MAA expects car sales to be similar to last month's level.
