Mexico's auto industry saw a slow start to the second quarter as
production, exports and domestic sales fell sharply in April from
the year-ago month.
The Mexican Auto Industry Association, AMIA, said Tuesday that
production fell 47% from April 2008 to 100,421 units, while exports
fell 41% to 85,121 units.
Domestic sales were down 38% from the year-ago month to 51,394
units.
"The crisis continues affecting the world auto industry,
influenced by financial and economic difficulties that most world
economies are going through," AMIA said in its monthly report.
