UMW Toyota Motor Records Uptick In September Sales

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) revealed that it recorded an uptick in vehicle sales in the month of September 2022. Last month, the company sold 9,098 Toyota vehicles and 135 Lexus vehicles. This combined total (9,233 vehicles) is an increase of that of August (9,091). This brings its year-to-date sales to 70,872 vehicles as of September.

In comparison, the company sold 8,033 vehicles in September 2021, and its year-to-date figure for the same 9-month period last year stood at 46,118 vehicles. The lower numbers last year is mainly due to the sales and production disruptions caused by the lockdowns.
