KUALA LUMPUR 3 Nov. - Malaysia's favourite compact vehicles company, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. (Perodua) recorded its highest-ever monthly sales with 26,852 cars in October 2020.
 
Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, the amount exceeds the monthly sales record of 25,035 units in September 2020.
 
"In September, we sold more vehicles in a month than in our entire 27-year history and now, we have gone even further.
 
“This milestone is important to us in many ways; it underscores our commitment towards delivering our vehicles to their rightful owners as fast as possible while at the same time doing our part to rejuvenate the automotive ecosystem.
 
“In October alone, we purchased some RM600 million worth of parts from local suppliers, thus creating an enormous economic multiplier effect on the local auto ecosystem, who too, has been impacted by the pandemic we are now facing," he said in a statement today.
 
The automotive ecosystem includes direct and indirect sectors, such as automotive component suppliers, authorised dealers, stockists, agencies and contractors.
 
Indirect, yet crucial partners include financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies.

Perodua sold 8,052 Myvis, 6,738 Axias, 6,895 Bezzas, 3,193 Aruz and 1,974 Alzas in October. 
 
The top three models remain Malaysia’s best-selling cars so far this year.
 
He added, in terms of production capacity, Perodua on average at 98% in October 2020 with 26,362 vehicles which is also their highest-ever monthly production figure produced at its manufacturing facilities in Sungai Choh.
 
These achievements were accomplished under the new standard operating procedures (SOP) followed by Perodua and their partners including working from home and mandatory testing for those in red zones on top of the original SOPs introduced in May.
 
To further reward its customers, Perodua is introducing a cash redemption of up to RM1,500 for the Perodua Aruz (terms and conditions apply) throughout November, on top of the current tax exemption amount.
 
In addition, Perodua is also offering cash rebates of up to RM2,000 for its pre-owned vehicles until 31 December 2020 and this offer is only available at the Perodua KL sales outlet located on Jalan Pahang, Kuala Lumpur. - DagangNews.com
