Perodua on course to achieve original target

KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua aims to sell 95,100 units in the second half of this year, which will bring its total to 188,023 units and maintaining its original target for the year.

Its managing director, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, said the second half of this year would be equally challenging with the implementation of new guidelines on responsible lending, coupled with several new launches in the market.

"I think by now, we are more or less adjusted to changes to the guidelines although not to the level that we will like to see in terms of process time but we are seeing improvement," he said at the review of the company's first-half performance here Wednesday.

For the first six months of this year, Perodua sold some 93,000 units, up 17 per cent from nearly 80,000 units in the same period in 2011, he said.

"This represents 31 per cent of the estimated 303,000 total industry volume for the first half.
