KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua has narrowed the order-delivery gap for the Aruz seven-seater SUV after fulfiling about 13,000 or 52% of the bookings received.
"We have managed to increase Perodua Aruz deliveries to an average of 110 units daily from 100 previously.
"We are continuing to work closely with our suppliers to further shrink the gap between orders and deliveries,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad in a statement today.
Zainal apologised to its customers who would not receive the new cars in time for Raya.
"Perodua is doing all it possibly can to maximise production and deliveries to shorten your wait, and we thank you very much for your understanding, patience and trust,” he said.
Perodua also announced that it had sold 22,943 vehicles by its own count in May this year.
While the official figures are yet to be released by the Malaysian Automotive Association, May's result would bring the automaker's five-month sales tally to 105,743 units, an increase of 8.5% from the same period in 2018.
