PETALING JAYA: National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, has exceeded its 100,000-unit sales milestone in the three quarters of this year, with 102,353 units sold in the first nine months of 2022, a jump of 40.2% compared to the previous corresponding period.
In a statement yesterday, Proton said it saw another strong domestic and export sales month in September at 14,872 units, which brought its sales for the third quarter of 2022 to 42,229 units, making it the best quarter for the year-to-date and helping it smash through a key sales milestone.
“This makes it the fourth consecutive year that the 100,000-unit sales level has been exceeded and the achievement came two months earlier than in 2021,” it said.
Compared to its rivals, Proton remains second in the sales table with an estimated market share of 23.8% in September.
“The overall total industry volume for September is estimated to have receded to approximately 62,500 units, the fourth best total of the year as the market continues its march towards posting its best sales year,” it said.
It said its performance was due to the stability in production numbers and the appeal of its models. — Bernama
