Car production in Thailand declined 14.1% in November from a year earlier to 163,337 units, on weaker production of pickup trucks and last year's high base, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) said on Wednesday.
The figure compared with October's 7% year-on-year fall. Domestic car sales in November fell 9.76% year-on-year after October's 8.75% drop from a year earlier. That was largely down to banks tightening loans for pickup trucks, spokesman Surapong Paisitpattanapong said.
Thailand is a regional vehicle production and export base for some of the world's top carmakers, including Toyota and Honda.
