TAWAU, March 23 — Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd is targeting to capture a 50 per cent share of the automotive market in Sabah this year, said its managing director Datuk Dr Zahari Husin.
“To-date, Perodua models continue to get a strong reception in Sabah, and the best-selling model in the state is Perodua Axia, followed by Perodua Bezza,” he told reporters at a dinner here last night following the conclusion of the 1,500 km journey made by the Perodua Aruz TransBorneo convoy—comprising six Aruz—from Kuching, Sarawak, to Tawau, Sabah.
“At present, vehicles in Sabah and Sarawak are mainly concentrated in major cities but with the upgrading of infrastructure, we believe demand for vehicles will rise,” he said.The sport-utility vehicle, he noted, was an energy-efficient vehicle certified by the government and had the best-in-class rated fuel efficiency.
