Introduction

Perodua, acronym of Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Berhad is Malaysia's second automobile manufacturer after proton. It was established in 1993 and launched their first car, the Perodua Kancil in late 1994.

Perodua mainly produces small-compart cars and therefore does not actually compete with proton for the same market niche. In the United Kingdom their cars are sold by Proton dealers who wish to attract customers seeking a smaller and cheaper alternative to the Proton range. Besides the UK and Singapore, Perodua also exports their cars to Mauritius, Brunei, Sri Lanka Cyprus, Malta, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Fiji in small numbers by local dealers.

COMPANY OF PERODUA

- The vision of Perodua is to be the most preferred automotive brand renowned for products and services of excellent quality which contributes to the development of the nation.

Product

- The Perodua Kancil - August 1994

- The Perodua Rusa - March 1996

- The Perodua Kembara - August 1998

- The Perodua Kenari - June 2000

- The Perodua Kelisa - August 2001

- The Perodua Myvi - May 2005

- The Perodua Viva - May 2007

- The Perodua Nautica 4WD - May 2008

- The Perodua Alza - November 2009

The Perodua Logo

The new logo maintains the 'P' and '2' and the colours of the old, squarish logo, but has been stylised further to become elliptical, which is more fluid and dynamic. The green colour represents social responsibility to the environment and the community, while the red colour symbolises the development of competent workforce and resilience in meeting challenges in the globalised world. However, the emblems mounted on the company's latest cars have black in place the green and red areas, with the chrome relief maintained as it was.

As compared to Proton, Perodua has been quite successful in its business ventures. Its cars are very popular among Malaysians, such as the recently introduced Perodua Myvi, which sold 80,327 units in 2006, outselling its rivals best selling car, the Proton Wira, which only sold 28,886 units in Malaysia. In 2006 and 2007, Perodua became the best selling car company in Malaysia.Perodua is set to become the largest compact carmaker in South-East Asia. It currently has capacity to make 200,000 cars annually. By July 2007, it is expanding to 240,000 per year.
