Two-wheeler sales not matching pace of PVs, three-wheelers: SIAM

The growth in two-wheeler sales is not keeping pace with the sales growth logged by passenger vehicle and three-wheeler segments, said a top official of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

Referring to the January 2023 sales data of automobile manufacturers, Vinod Aggarwal, President, SIAM said: "Better consumer sentiments is driving demand for passenger vehicles. Three-wheeler segment has gained traction compared to the past two years, though they are still to reach the pre-Covid levels. The rate of growth of two-wheelers in the recent year has not kept pace with the growth in the other segments."
