Australia’s peak body for the automotive industry has released new vehicle sales figures for June 2022, which, at 99,974 vehicles sold, show a 9.7 percent decline compared with June 2021.
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) chief executive Tony Weber said in a release on Tuesday that a combination of disrupted manufacturing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and shipping issues have meant that the supply of new vehicles to Australia cannot match demand.
