SKorea auto industry posts modest sales increase in 2008
AFP - 1 hour 26 minutes ago
SEOUL (AFP) - - South Korea's auto industry posted a modest increase in sales last year despite weak demand caused by the global financial crisis, data showed Friday.
The country's five carmakers led by Hyundai Motor sold a combined 5.35 million units last year, up 2.4 percent from a year ago.
Domestic sales fell 5.1 percent from a year ago to 1.15 million units in 2008, while exports rose 4.7 percent to 4.21 million units.
Hyundai Motor said sales last year increased 6.9 percent from a year earlier to 2.78 million units, far lower than its initial target of 3.11 million.
Hyundai's domestic sales declined 8.7 percent to 570,962 units, but exports rose 11.8 percent to 2.21 million units.
