Perodua has smashed its 2022 targets of 247,800 units, and set new record for the highest yearly sales, ever

Having sold 250,795 units between January and November this year, Perodua has smashed its 2022 targets of 247,800 units and set new record for the highest yearly sales, ever.

Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said “This sales achievement is on the back of our production achievement so far this year, which numbered 258,960 units. We also achieved our highest monthly production ever since inception at 29,149 units.  

“This achievement is meaningful on many levels; the first shows our ability to further maximise current resources, both within Perodua and its supplier ecosystem. The second is that through this achievement, we now realise that we can further increase output –both in sales and production without investing in a new plant or acquiring more land for our manufacturing operations,”

“That being said, we will continue to invest in upgrading our operations as a group with an emphasis in the knowledge and skill development of our people. We are also working closely with our suppliers and dealers to ensure that their operations are capable to meet future demand and challenges,” he added.

On a year-on-year comparison, Perodua sales rose by 50.0 percent to 250,795 from 167,250 units sold in the same period last year. The jump in sales compared to the same period last year was due to the Covid-19 lockdown initiated by the government between June and mid-August in 2021.

Monthly sales also recorded a new record of 28,592 units in November 2022, which is an increase of 40.9 percent when compared with 20,299 units sold in November 2021, and a 10.6 percent increase when compared with 25,849 units sold in October this year.

The top 3 Perodua models sold in November are Bezza with 8,089 units, followed by the Myvi with 6,624 units and the Axia with 5,812 units.

“We are looking to continue the sales and manufacturing momentum to ensure that all our valued customers will receive their Perodua vehicles quicker as well as to ensure all those who booked their vehicle within the sales tax exempted timeframe, will get their cars before 31 March 2023,” Dato’ Sri Zainal said.

On setting a new target for the year, Dato’ Sri Zainal said that the national compact car company will instead announce the full-year actual numbers in January.
