The local recovery was driven by 29,538 passenger car sales, a 30.5% gain over September last year. Light commercial vehicles dropped 10.9% to 10,943 units, largely due to supply constraints on the Ford Ranger after the factory was closed for refurbishments in August. “New vehicle demand is starting to pick up with consumers, businesses and rental companies returning to the market. However, many Covid-19 disruptive elements remain in play and prevailing market conditions have been hampered by higher logistics costs and supply-chain disruptions, such as the global semiconductor shortages impacting on the availability of certain models.
