While some car companies are forced to cut production numbers due to the semiconductor shortage, Perodua has stated that they have secured sufficient supply to last them till the end of the year.
According to a press conference during the 2022 Perodua Alza media drive, Perodua president and CEO Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, “On the semiconductor issue, we have secured enough chip supply for us to produce and register more than 247,800 units this year, however we are still working on sustaining production growth. This means that we could not announce our new targets yet.”
