Malaysia will enforce minimum fuel economy for each manufacturer, calculated based on their weight of their models, by year 2030. Details are still under deliberation, but we understand that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and automotive policy think tank MARii will share some preliminary information later this month.

Now that 2 out of every 5 new cars sold in Malaysia is a Perodua, and the number is set to rise to nearly 1 in every 2 by the end of 2023, Perodua is reaching close to the peak of what more it can do to expand its business locally. Perodua ended 2022 with 282,019 units sold, and is targeting an 11.3 percent increase in sales for 2023, reaching 314,000 units, with a 44.5 percent market share, up 5.4 percent from 2022.
