Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Turkish passenger car sales tumbled 58 percent in December from the year earlier, the sixth consecutive decline, as the global credit crisis slashed demand.
Passenger car sales fell to 25,879 units, the Turkish Auto Distributor’s Association said in an e-mail today. Sales of vans slid 59 percent to 16,199 units, it added. Passenger car sales fell 14.4 percent in the whole of 2008 from the previous year, while van sales dropped 20.8 percent.
Turkish carmakers including Ford Motor Co.’s local unit Ford Otomotiv Sanayi AS have suspended production as orders from home and the European Union slump. The industry is in talks with the government on measures to preserve jobs and encourage sales.
Passenger car sales slumped an annual 57 percent in November, when overall industrial output probably slid 14.1 percent, the most in seven years, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. The statistics office will announce November output figures tomorrow.
