Due to global logistical challenges, increasing freight costs, and depreciating local currency, the price hikes will continue. True to Toyota IMC CEO Ali Asghar Jamali’s prediction, Toyota IMC increased the prices of its vehicles, which will likely prompt other automakers to do the same.
Furthermore, the entire car industry is facing a severe production crunch due to delayed approval of the letter of credit for the import of CKD kits. All of these factors combined are likely to have a severe impact on the auto industry.
