KUALA LUMPUR: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) is cautiously optimistic of achieving this year’s target to sell 194,000 cars, up 3% from last year’s 189,000 cars, if the current momentum continues and no major challenges surface.

President and chief executive officer Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said Perodua’s sales for the first four months of this year rose 9% to 64,400 from the same period last year. “We don’t know what’s going to happen over the next few months, but we are cautiously optimistic of being able to meet the sales target of 194,000 cars, barring any unforeseen circumstances,” he said at the Perodua Eco-Challenge 2013 handover ceremony yesterday.
