"In June we sold 20,689 cars. The biggest sales were still on the Avanza and Innova cars," Marketing Communications of Auto 2000 Cahaya Tantriani said in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Auto 2000, she said, was still the Toyota dealer with the biggest sales with a contribution of 77 percent. The Toyota sales up to June 2011 reached 152 thousand units, up 9 percent compared to last year`s same period.
Toyota is a domestic car market leader with a market share of 37 percent, and last month, its sales reached 26 thousand units.
In the meantime, Tantri said, Auto 2000 has opened orders for New Kijang Innova. This model will be launched at the Indonesian International Motor Show 2011.
Auto 2000 also opened orders for New Fortuner which will also be released by the IIMS. Auto 2000 serves exchanges between Avanza, Rush, and Yaris cars which have been used for five years, with New Innova and New Fortuner cars.
In the meantime, when confirming the development, marketing director of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), Toyota sole agent and trade mark holder (ATPM) Joko Trisanyoto was still rather reluctant to give the details on the launching of New Innova. "Later we will make an official statement during the launching," he said.
This year Auto 2000 set a sales target of 235 thousand units. "Sales are still good, although the automotive market is still feeling the impact of the recent tsunami in Japan and some other issues on car tax increases," said CEO of Auto 2000 Jodjana Jody.
