Perodua recorded a nine per cent month-on-month increase in August 2024, thanks to the strong performance of its two best-selling models, the Axia and Bezza, which are among the most affordable cars in Malaysia.
According to RHB Investment Bank analyst Syahril Hanafiah, production of the Axia surged by 14 per cent, while Bezza production saw an even more significant jump of 31 per cent in August. Together, these two models made up 57 per cent of Perodua’s total car production for the month.
“These two models have contributed significantly to Perodua’s success in August,” Syahril noted in a research report.
In addition to Perodua, Proton also saw an increase in production, with a modest four per cent rise. Among non-national manufacturers, Honda experienced an eight per cent boost in production after two months of decline, while Toyota saw a slight drop of two per cent of month-on-month output.
