You won’t hear them gloat, though. “These achievements were also the local ecosystem’s shared commitment towards our customers and our collective roles in advancing this industry,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad. “The industry did a lot soul searching and from the learning points obtained during the pandemic and we realised that we needed to take active steps to recover in 2021 – which saw its fair share of challenges and from there to maximise the ecosystem’s potential in 2022,” he added.
Zainal said that 2022 also had its obstacles which included the ecosystem’s recovery from the massive flood, the shortage of workers due to spikes in Covid-19 cases at the supplier level, the shortage of semiconductor chips supply and the sudden increase in raw material prices. However, with proper planning, Perodua and its partners were not only able to overcome these challenges but find much needed growth for the industry, the P2 chief explained.
