UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced its sales performance for the month of April 2022, delivering a total of 6,946 vehicles, with 6,868 units being Toyota vehicles, while the remaining 78 units were Lexus vehicles.

The overall figure represents an 18% decrease from the 8,487 vehicles the company managed to deliver a month prior in March, with 8,386 Toyota vehicles and 101 Lexus vehicles sold.

As reported by NST, UMW Holdings – the parent of UMWT – attributed the decline to supply chain issues affecting vehicle production, which an issue that other car companies are also facing. The group delivered a total of 32,600 units, inclusive of both UMWT and its associate company, Perodua, in April, which is 7.5% less than the 35,246 units it recorded in March.

According to the group, the Vios, Yaris, Corolla Cross and Hilux were among UMWT’s best-selling models last month. Despite the sales drop, UMWT’s year-to-date sales figure as of April currently sits at 29,393 units, which is 11% more than the 26,431 units recorded during same period last year.

  • All car brands sales are also dropping in the month of April due to chip shortage and supply chain issues

      So,by now chip shortage is here to stay till 2024.
      Lets wait for Honda Malaysia’s announcement on sales,on non national car segment.
      Lets hope DRB dont keep repeating P1’s excuse on chip shortage.

      • Lets check it out..other brands..whether they drop % in terms of sales.
        When sales are down..floods…chip shortage…the Ukraine war, Shanghai lockdown..macam macam ada excuse.
        Could it be a problematic workforce,infighting amongst managers,lack of followup etc ? Can u imagine their Japanese CEO has to step in to conduct war room parts shortage meetings?
        Come on,grow up Toyota…find ways to improve,not find more excuses.Fanboys might migrate to other brands if this excuse mentality is perpetuated.

    The situation with Toyota is even more acute because the waiting period is just as long regardless of variant.
