Perodua has added another foreign market to its export portfolio, with the brand now having made its way to Bangladesh. Last month, the national automaker inked a deal with PHP Motors, a subsidiary of the PHP Family, for the latter to assemble and sell its vehicle models in the country.
According to The Business Standard, PHP Motors is launching four Perodua models in Dhaka today. The four models are the Axia, Myvi, Bezza and Aruz, and will be assembled at the company’s Saraipara Halishahar plant in Chattogram (formerly Chittagong). PHP Motors MD Mohammed Akther Parvez added that there were plans to expand the line-up in the coming future.
“Perodua has six models. We are working on all the models. Initially, we will assemble (these) four models in our factory and sell them. The other models (the Alza and Ativa) will also be assembled and launched soon,” he said.
If the PHP name sounds familiar, that’s because the company used to handle Proton. Proton is now represented in Bangladesh by local conglomerate Rancon, which is set to assemble the X90 in the country later this year.
Although PHP has terminated its agreement with Proton, it said it would honour all existing warranties for Proton vehicles. “While signing the agreement with Perodua, we have included this condition to allow us to provide after-sales services to previously sold Proton cars and they have appreciated our commitment,” Akther said.
PHP’s factory is capable of assembling 1,200 units a year. With over 400 employees, the plant can assemble 36 cars in three shifts a day (12 in each shift). The company said that the facility has been running at full capacity since 2019.

That’s good.
Majority of them working at Malaysia, sent back RM without tax,
Semacam Leaking of our currency?
Hopefully they buy some Perodua/Affordable TYT so there is some backflow hehehe
Will you work at the factories then? Who will build condos and malls? Will you? This xenophobic comments are disgraceful to this country that was created by immigrants from Indonesia, China, India and many more countries
Created by China and India? Since when China and India work at factors and build condoa and mall in Malaysia? Did you mistakes Bangla as Indian?
Only 1200 a year assembly capacity?
These are handbuilt P2 we are talking about.
Malaysia automaker market, Bangla, cambodia, Laos, South Africa. Pakistan where other automaker don’t bother to sell.. Then so proud of selling few units
How much you exported, peabrain?
Setelkan dulu la Alza kat local market ni. 6 bulan waiting list oi
di Sabah & Sarawak waiting list naik 6-8 bulan. Axia E rahmah paling teruk naik dari 8-10 bulan ke 2-3 tahun. Boleh kumpul duit beli kereta lain yang ready stock tunggu lama macam tu
Berita pasal production luar negara. Salah platform bro.
Oh…those banglas who worked 10 to15 years in KL,on returning to Dacca ,can afford P2.U will be surprised some of them have saved so much n got new skills that they can afford an easier life back home.
Today,I saw a few banglas at a car spray paint shop…busily spraying BMWs and polishing..all equipped with excellent skills that some of our locals are not on par even.
1. Gov fault.
The govs of those days from mahatahi, suthuadi mannan(our current pee mx) destroyed the education system by removing industrial arts and bringing in moral and religious classes.
Moral and religious education is the responsibility of the parents.
Schools are supposed to teach living skills!!
2. Parents fault.
The current batches of kids in schools are a pampered lot. Do not do housework, nor do any living skills.
These kids rather sit sliding their fingers on their phones!!
Tuhanku kamur tolonglah, hantarkan kepadanya, malaikat tuk jaganya..trut trut
I hope perodua malaysia got premium variant with reverse camera and leather seat but without eco idle and asa for ativa and myvi.
Bagus la tu, kesian tgk bangla di Malaysia ni, dok tgk je P2 smpi rmai2 lg berkumpul di Kuala Dhaka tu.
Akhirnya dpt juga mrk merasa P2 di tanahair sendiri kelak.
How to sell in Bangladesh when all the potential buyers are in KL?
Shitty tin milo quality car suits 3rd world countries.
any effort to up production and delivery speed for local market here ? Alza and Bezza waiting time is 6-8 months meanwhile in Sabah & Sarawak up to 10 months. Axia E rahmah there just recently jump from 10-12 months waiting to 2-3 years too. What happened to building cars people first ?
I don’t understand Perodua’s decision making here. Why sell all these models in a country where Toyota has been selling the same cars in its original identity for years?
