VEHICLE sales rose 14.1 percent in June to 37,631 units from 32,993 units in the same month last year, driven by aggressive dealer marketing campaigns and with perennial leader Toyoto Motor Philippines Corp. retaining its No. 1 spot.

In a combined sales report, the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (Campi) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) said on Thursday that the robust growth in sales last month brought total first-half sales to 196,164 units.
