“This idea was developed as Krungsri Auto Ecosystem, the new business model that will be announced officially in the next year,” he explained.
He said that sale of new cars presently was 1.012 million, decreasing by three per cent from 2018. Factors for drop in sales were declining consumption of private sector, and pressure of domestic debt. Besides, the auto finance market shrunk by four per cent this year, or around Bt601 billlion.

This year, Krungsri Auto’s proportion of new volume included 38 per cent of new car loans, 22 per cent of used car loans, 17 per cent of refinance loans, 10 per cent of motorcycle loans, and 13 per cent of dealer loans.
