Perodua Cars History and Background

Perodua Cars

Perodua is a Malaysian automobile manufacturer. The company was originally founded in 1993 and is Malaysia’s second largest car manufacturer.

Perodua produces mostly compact cars designed to attract buyers who are looking for something a little less costly than Malaysia’s Proton brand (the largest car manufacturer in Malaysia).

In 1997 the company held a competition in order to design a new logo. The competition was won by a Malaysian University student. The logo maintains the ‘P’ and the ‘2’ from the original logo yet presents a more stylish and sophisticated image. The green colour in the logo symbolizes social responsibility to the environment and to the community while the red in the logo represents the development of a competent workforce and the ability to compete in a globalised world.

Perodua is best known for models such as the Kelisa, Kenari, and the Myvi.
