KUALA LUMPUR, 8 March 2023 – Perusahaan Otomobil Keda Sdn Bhd (Perodua), its suppliers and dealers were on overdrive in the first two months of this year as both production and sales registered double-digit growth.
Perodua, in a statement today said that year-to-date production was up by 32.95 per cent to 51,134 units from 38,460 units, and sales increased by 33 per cent to 46,385 vehicles from 34,865 vehicles for the first two months of 2023.
The increase attributed to improved efficiency in terms of production, better financing facilities to Perodua dealers and greater communications both within the ecosystem as well as with Perodua customers.
“While there are still ongoing challenges with the supply of semiconductor chips, cost increases – among others but despite these challenges, we managed to see double-digit growth in our production and sales, for this we thank our partners for their dedication,” Perodua president and chief executive officer Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
He said demand for Perodua vehicles has also remained healthy so far and Perodua is ramping up production to meet with that demand.
“As a result, the average waiting period as of 28 February is now between 2.5 months and eight months. Of course, this timeframe is subject to the model, variant, and colour,” Zainal Abidin said.
“That being said, we apologise to our customers and thank them for their patience. We will try to further improve our production and registrations in the months to come,” he said.
He added that Perodua will continue to improve its operations and within the ecosystem as well as delivery timing of its customers.
Moving forward, he said the outlook for the automotive industry and Perodua are positive given that the current economic situation remains stable.
“The current focus now is labour stability, especially for the automotive suppliers to ensure that production can be improved. We also hope that the policy makers continue to engage with the ecosystem on future changes in policies that may impact the industry,” he added.
