KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- The UMW Group started 2022 on a strong footing as both UMW Toyota Motor (“UMWT”) and UMW’s associate company, Perodua, registered improved automotive sales in January. The Group delivered 24,972 units in January 2022, 20.4% higher than the 20,740 units sold in January 2021, as it continues to fulfil its encouraging outstanding order book.
UMWT almost doubled its sales in January 2022 with 7,528 units, 95.8% higher than the 3,845 units registered in the corresponding month of 2021. Toyota Vios, Hilux and Yaris continue to be UMWT’s best-selling models in January. Expanding its product offering into the electrified vehicle space, UMWT launched the Toyota Corolla Cross on 14 January 2022, its first locally assembled Hybrid Electric Vehicle (“HEV”) on the Toyota New Global Architecture (“TNGA”) platform. UMWT believes that this will pave the way for the introduction of more HEVs and electric vehicles in Malaysia as consumers aspire towards a cleaner drive, which is evident from the encouraging orders received for the Corolla Cross HEV since it was open for booking in October 2021. It is also inline with the Group’s goal to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2050.
