Perodua, Aims 247,800 units of Sales Target

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sendirian Berhad (Perodua) sold 127, 343 vehicles which recorded as 30 percent increase in sales over the first half of 2022 after the announcement of SST exemption deadline by the government. 

The surge registration in June 2022 was also due to better parts supply comparatively to the month of May although having issues with skill labour and part shortage are still in the picture. 

However, Perodua remains to have its full year sales target of 247,800 units. 

The number was a jump from 97,290 units sold starting from January to June 2021 due to strong demand of vehicles from customers. 

Perodua Myvi listed as the most sold model with 38, 039 units registered followed by Perodua Axia at 29,183 of sold vehicles. Meanwhile, Perodua Bezza gains 28,719 sold units.

“There was a significant rush in vehicle booking especially when the government extended the registration period to 31 March 2023 and we thank Malaysians for choosing Perodua as their brand of choice,” Perodua president and chief executive officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.

“Speaking of the sales tax exemption; on the last day of the initiative, Perodua saw the highest single booking day on 30 June 2022 with 25,100 vehicles orders taken,” he said. 

“This is unprecedented and a testament to the growth potential of Malaysia’s automotive industry given the right incentive.”

“We sincerely thank the government for extending the delivery deadline to 31 March 2022 as we needed that grace period to meet the demand so far,” Dato’ Zainal said.
