Perodua registered a slightly lower delivery of 20,299 units in November despite supply issues due to intermittent disruption has impacted production.
On a month-to-month comparison, Perodua sales decreased by 27.1% from 27,858 units registered in October 2021. (The highest sales month in Perodua’s history so far).
In response to correct the situation, Perodua is aiming for its highest ever monthly registration in its history with at least 30,000 units registration as it targets to end the year with over 200,000 units sold.
“We wish to apologise for the delay in delivery and thank all our customers for their support and patience, especially in the most challenging year so far,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
“We are working with the automotive ecosystem to overcome these issues, such as rising Covid-19 cases as well as the semiconductor chip supply shortage, and with these countermeasures in place, we see December 2021 as our best month yet,” Dato’ Zainal said.
On the New Myvi, which was launched on 18 November 2021, Dato’ Zainal said the company has accumulated 14,600 orders as of 2 December 2021.
“November was slightly slower in terms of registration for the Myvi as there was a delivery gap for that model as we waited for the latest variant to launch. In fact, of the 14,600 units booked, 7,189 orders were converted from the previous variants,” he explained.
On a year-to-date basis, Perodua registered 42,288 Myvi units between January and November this year.
For overall sales, Perodua registered 167,250 units between January and November 2021, which is a reduction of 14.2% compared with 194,980 units registered in the same period last year.
On 2022’s outlook, Dato’ Zainal said that Perodua is targeting at least 240,000 sales which is a 40,000 unit or a 20% increase from the expected 200,000 units registered this year. He said that the 240,000 figure is a preliminary estimation and that a more accurate forecast will be shared in late January 2022.
He forecasts that the demand for vehicles would peak in the first six months of 2022 as people will want to benefit of the Sales Tax exemption incentive by the government while the second half would see demand slowing.
“The 240,000 registration number is important as we want to grow the Malaysian automotive ecosystem.
