With business activities for the automotive sector allowed to resume in the second half of August, UMWT spent September making up for lost time. Total sales volume for September was 8,033 vehicles, an increase of 5,509 units over August. This consisted of 7,931 Toyota vehicles and 102 Lexus vehicles. Comparatively, this is 43% higher than September 2020 (5,605 vehicles sold). On a cumulative basis, year-to-date sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Malaysia reached 43,594 units at the end of September. In the same 9-month period in 2020, the total was 25,978 units, mainly due to the strict lockdown in the second half of 2020.
“We are certainly pleased to see the market steadily moving towards normalcy as the past few months have been challenging for us. Our showrooms have been open and receiving many customers daily, and bookings for the latest models have been increasing. As a result, our total sales in September for Toyota and Lexus vehicles was a phenomenal 223% greater than the August volume,” said President of UMW Toyota Motor, Ravindran. K.
Mr. Ravindran said that even before the lockdown was lifted, all facilities had been sanitised and ready for visitors in accordance with the set Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The SOPs are now strictly observed at all outlets and a company-wide programme was undertaken to ensure that the entire workforce is fully vaccinated.
“I would like to assure our customers that they will be safe and protected when they visit our showrooms or service centres but at the same time, we remind them that they need to comply with the SOPs. This means having temperature scans and registering their visit using the MySejahtera app, as well as using hand sanitisers and face masks at all times,” he said.
“Our loyal customers who have supported the brand for more than five decades are also not forgotten. We now have the new Toyota Loyal-T programme with better service and bigger rewards,” Mr. Ravindran added. “The program makes use of the Toyota Drive mobile app for convenience and ease of communicating with UMWT.”
Additionally, UMWT has been busy preparing for the local assembly of Toyota hybrid vehicles. These new models will have more efficient powertrains with less emissions and quieter running.
“Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are at their most advanced today, and are the immediate and economical solution for mass market production and sale in terms of reduced CO2 emissions, practical usage, and price acceptance by customers. We are absolutely positive that the HEV is the most accessible and realistic choice for Malaysian customers in terms of practicality and infrastructure, with an enormous potential in Malaysia,” said Akio Takeyama, Deputy Chairman of UMW Toyota Motor.
