RAWANG: Perodua sold 27,858 vehicles in October to cement  a new record.

This was 1,010 more vehicles sold than in the corresponding month last year when Perodua was listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as having achieved an all-time high sales of 26,848 vehicles.

The latest record came with improved production and swift deliveries of vehicles to customers as the compact car manufacturer aims to deliver as many vehicles as possible in the fourth quarter of 2021.

“This achievement is our commitment towards our customers and represents a 90.67% increase from 14,160 units sold in September 2021. We are now working to further improve production especially for the rest of the year,” said Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

Of the 27,858 Perodua vehicles registered, 8,761 were Myvis, 5,973 were Axias, 5,257 Bezzas, 3,973 Ativas, 2,553 Alzas and 1,341 Aruz units.

In terms of production, Zainal said October also saw the highest ever number of vehicles made with 29,803 units produced within a month.

He said that the 29,803-unit achievement was beyond Perodua’s current production capacity, yet the staff was able to boost their productivity with the same level of quality without new hires, equipment or machinery

On a year-to-date basis, Perodua registered 146,951 units from January to October this year, which is 14.5% below 171,861 registered in the same period of 2020.

“The remaining two months will be a challenge as both Perodua and its ecosystem are still facing supply challenges due to the ongoing pandemic," said Zainal.
