“Sales recovery in the subcompact car segment in Thailand has shown that the impact of the first-car buyer incentive program’s expiration is beginning to lessen,” said Takayuki Kimura, Nissan regional vice president for Asia and Oceania. “Our market share across the region was 6% in July, which is in line with our mid-term business plan. With many new product launches planned in the coming months, I am confident that we will see a pick-up in our sales.”
