In November, AVID saw its sales up by 9% year-on-year to a total of 2,764 units.  The group’s sustained sales pace was driven by the double-digit growth of the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment.

Positive November sales brought the year-to-date sales tally of the segment to 15,797 units or 16% higher than the same period last year.

Passenger Cars, on the other hand, marked modest growth in November with 6% growth to 1,376 units sold. Year-to-date, PC segment registered a solid 19% increase in sales to 17,081 units sold.
