At the presentation of its sales performance for the first half of 2019, Perodua disclosed some data about its export-related activities, and it was revealed that exports for the brand have picked up from last year, when only 2,184 units were exported. The company is projecting a 50% growth this year, with 3,270 units being shipped out to various markets.
Most of these vehicles will head to Indonesia, which is the largest export market for the automaker. Perodua currently exports the Myvi to Indonesia, the car being badged as the Daihatsu Sirion there. Exports to the republic for the first half of the year increased by 72% compared to the same period last year, with 1,030 units being sent over, and the forecast is that the market will account for 2,170 units out of the total export volume.
Exports to Sri Lanka have also increased, with 344 vehicles delivered in the first half of 2019, up from the 212 during the same period last year. The numbers also improved in Brunei and Singapore, the latter undoubtedly helped by the introduction of the Myvi in April, with two variants of the hatchback available in the republic.
The company also exports vehicles to Fiji and Mauritius, where things have remained constant, and it added a new market last month when the Axia made its debut in the Seychelles. Four variants are available in the republic, which consists of an archipelago of 115 islands off East Africa.
Lucky here cars so damm cheap af. in Seychelles, Axia priced RM88k and Bezza 86k in Mauritius
Cannot trust the price shown by Perodua, cannot trust what they said, cannot trust their figures and projections. They talk about safety but still sell Alza without adequate safety features, and this is on a 7seater car. There is very little assurance on what they said except the fact they are prioritising money over human lives.
Japanese taught them safety first, but they learnt profits first. shame on them!
Pitiful export figures when even Proton could garner 400 units for every load of shipment to export. I’m not quite why are they so proud of this dismal failure.
yeah.. should be proud of P1 instead.. exporting CBU X70, fully designed & manufactured (infinite weave grille) in M’sia, supporting local auto industries & suppliers..
Yep. Not just X70 but their phased out legacy cars as well, Persona CM, Gen2, Satria Neo, Preve & Suprima. Not bad at all.
p2 get it right..unlike p1, uk? seriously?
P1 still has fanclubs in Germany. P2 fanclubs are with their owners six feet under.
Look like u dunno anything
50% growth actually meant only 1,000 units more. Haha! Playing around with numbers trying to make it look big.
Perodua fans in previous post told us Perodua export 10k units, now in actual 1600 units only. Hahaha…
Like boss, like employees. When even the P2 boss likes to give exaggerated claims such as Alza is safe and P2 service cost is lowest, do you think his underlings would be any better.
The real national car! Perodua!
Ya, build lousy car for local. 1st world country dun allow to import the crap into their market.
P2 don’t have any USP over competitors in other countries. In Malaysia, at least they are cheap because of tax cut. In other countries up against other brands, P2 cars are neither fuel efficient, safe nor exciting enough.
Yey. Good job P2.
Perodua from 1600 units 50% growth to 2400 units is good job.
But ridicule Proton from 20000 units export drop 50% to 10000 units.
Weird. How come no proud ‘P2 supporters’ here singing their praises and naming their children Myvi and Axia like in other articles about P2? This not good news ah? Or all those so-called supporters are really just the same bunch of salesman trolls?
