KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) — The ongoing Full Movement Control Order 3.0 (“FMCO”), which began on 1 June 2021, has adversely impacted the domestic automotive sector with only 1,921 units registered for the month of June. Of the total, UMW Toyota Motor (“UMWT”) delivered 85 vehicles while Perodua sold 1,009 units. With the prolonged lockdown, minimal sales could be expected for the month of July for both UMWT and Perodua.
The online showrooms are proving to be a viable alternative for customers during the FMCO. The Toyota, Lexus and Perodua online showrooms are gaining traction as consumers are gradually moving towards e-platforms during the lockdown phase.
