KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The UMW Group’s automotive sales momentum continued in July 2022 as both UMW Toyota Motor (“UMWT”) and UMW’s associate company, Perodua, registered healthy sales.  The Group delivered 24,983 units in July 2022 compared with 2,105 units registered in July 2021.  Sales in July 2021 was affected by the implementation of the Full Movement Control Order (“FMCO”) from 1 June to 15 August 2021. For the first seven months of 2022, the UMW Group delivered a total of 198,237 units, 48% higher than the 133,506 units registered in the corresponding period of 2021. 
 
UMWT registered sales of 6,637 units in July 2022 compared with 1,450 units a year ago.  The FMCO affected sales in July 2021.  Year-to-date July 2022, UMWT registered 52,548 units, 48% higher than the 35,561 units registered in the corresponding period of 2021.  To refresh its model line-up, on 24 June 2022, UMWT has started order taking for the all-new Toyota Veloz, which will be launched soon.  To further strengthen its order book, UMWT is offering special promotions for the purchase of the Vios and Yaris as part of its August sales campaign.
 
Meanwhile, Perodua registered sales of 18,346 units in July 2022, significantly higher than the 655 units registered in July 2021.  The lower sales in July 2021 was due to the FMCO.  For the first seven months of 2022, Perodua registered 145,689 units, 49% higher than the 97,945 units registered in the corresponding period of 2021.  To further strengthen its market leadership position, Perodua launched the all-new Perodua Alza on 20 July 2022.  Perodua will also be introducing the Ativa Hybrid to the Malaysian market soon, albeit through the subscription scheme only.
 
UMW Holdings Berhad President and Group CEO, Dato’ Ahmad Fuaad Kenali said, “We are pleased with the healthy sales registered by both UMWT and Perodua in July 2022.  Both UMWT and Perodua have huge outstanding orders and will continue to ramp-up production to deliver our cars to the customers.  With the easing of the semiconductor chips shortage and improving supply chain, we are confident of achieving our sales targets for the year.  We would like to thank our customers for their unwavering support of our products and services.”
