Perodua Myvi – 1.3 litre model launched in Mauritius

Perodua Myvi – 1.3 litre model launched in Mauritius

Perodua has begun selling the New Myvi 1.3 litre in Mauritius, with the first 22 units already on Mauritian shores. The car, which is available in four variants (AT and MT, in Standard and Premium versions), was launched by Deputy Prime Minister of Mauritius, the Honourable Dr Ahmed Rashid Beebeejaun, last week.

Mauritius has long been an export market for the company – since 1996, Rauf Dusmohamud and Co has sold a total of 1,227 Perodua vehicles in the country, with models ranging from the Kancil, Rusa, Kenari, Kelisa and Viva to the Myvi.

Perodua MD Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh expect’s Perodua’s overall sales performance in Mauritius to grow by 67% to 200 units in 2012 from the 120 units expected this year.

He added that P2 is planning to increase its overall export sales to 20,000 units by 2015 from an expected 8,000 units this year.

“This plan, which is a part of our 5-year strategic road map, involves increasing the export volume to our existing markets, while at the same time exploring to new right-hand drive markets that has similar standards as Malaysia,” he said.

        “since 1996, Rauf Dusmohamud and Co has sold a total of 1,227 Perodua vehicles in the country”

        1996-2011= 1,227 units. <– u mean according to this figure?

        • 1227 units / 16 years = 76.69 units per year

          76.69 units / 12 months = 6.39 units per month

          6.39 units / 30 days = 0.213 per day.

          WOW a lot!

      I wonder if you ever driven one ? Or just purely you can’t afford it or does not have a license ? Quit blindly bashing with unconstructive cap ayam or tin milo comments. It shows that you are very narrow minded person.

  • Most of Perodua’s export markets are 3rd world anyway… it’s not like theyre making any real progress. Perodua is sort of suffering from an identity crisis in the west. Those who buy Perodua cars buy for the sake of Japanese technology, nothing more, nothing less.

    Well at least Perodua is making money…

    Compare to P1, their net profit keep on dropping… Same old excuse, blame on Lotus due to long term investment… Why still keep Lotus for what? It’s been so many years wasting money?

    http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/11/29/business/20111129133758&sec=business

    PETALING JAYA: Automaker Proton’s net profit plunged 76.40% to RM15.55 million for the second quarter ended Sept 30 compared to the same quarter a year ago as expenses in the company’s subsidiary Lotus Group International continued to impact earnings.

    well as I always say P2 is only good in malaysia but outside it is viewed like shit

    Proton may not be the best car out there but you must agree that with a small amaunt of cash they can make a whole car in just 18 months not every carmaker can manage that

    And you also forget that in the UK they have more brands than any ware alse but still you can see quit a few proton there ….and i also notice that they are aware of proton even the old folks know who this carmeker is …in fact in malaysian they have a bad reputation but in UK they are known for being relible motors and it is not because of the UK speck thing it is because of the cold whether where less components need to work like AC /
