<div class=newsTextDataWrapInner><p>KUALA LUMPUR (March 17): A total of 43,722 vehicles were sold in February throughout Malaysia, up 8% from the 40,581 units that were sold in January, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA).<br />
<br />
In a statement Thursday (March 17), MAA said the increase in the total industry volume was&nbsp;due to auto companies ramping up production to fulfill backlog orders. Compared to&nbsp;the same month last year, the vehicle sales figure was up a marginal 1.01% from 43,448 units previously.<br />
<br />
This brings the total industry volume for the first two months of 2022 to 84,303 units, about 10% more than the 76,840 units sold during the same period last year.<br />
<br />
The association projects that sales volume in March will increase further, as auto retailers, particularly those whose financial year ends on March 31, make a year-end push for higher sales.<br />
<br />
The longer working month in March is also expected to help lift the sales figure, it added.</p></div>
