UMW Toyota Motor Sustains Q3 Momentum With Over 24,500 Units Sold: Expands Nationwide Public EV Charging

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has closed out the third quarter of 2026 with robust delivery numbers, registering over 24,500 vehicles between July and September.

The third-quarter haul pushes the company’s year-to-date (YTD) sales tally past the 60,800-unit mark, reaffirming the brand’s enduring hold on the non-national passenger vehicle crown in Malaysia.

Against a backdrop of aggressive regional competition and shifting customer preferences, UMWT’s strategy centers on reinforcing long-term ownership trust through digital customer service integration and expanding physical infrastructure under its global Multi-Pathway decarbonisation roadmap.

Ownership Value Beyond the Showroom Floor

Addressing the company’s Q3 performance, Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor, noted that delivering true value requires supporting vehicle owners well beyond the initial showroom handover.

With automotive retail evolving rapidly and buyers placing higher weight on hassle-free vehicle maintenance, UMWT is refining its touchpoints to ensure vehicle ownership remains as practical, connected, and confidence-inspiring as possible.

To encourage seamless service management, the distributor resumed its dedicated Toyota MY App campaign, running from 14 September through 31 December 2026.

Both new registrants and existing app users can collect reward points for engaging digitally:

• App Registration: New users receive an immediate welcome credit of 500 Loyal-T Points upon registering their account on the Toyota MY App.
• Online Service Bookings: Vehicle owners earn an additional 500 Loyal-T Points for every routine service appointment booked directly through the application when bringing their car into an authorized service center.

Expanding Public EV Infrastructure: 42 Charging Points Across 21 Sites

Recognizing that the shift toward electrified vehicles demands reliable public charging access, UMWT is actively rolling out physical high-voltage infrastructure across its national dealer footprint.

Under its Multi-Pathway approach—which caters simultaneously to pure battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and self-charging hybrids (HEVs)—UMWT has partnered with established charging point operators chargEV and JomCharge to deploy public charging bays across Toyota and Lexus premises:

• Planned Coverage: A total of 42 public EV charging points across 21 dealer locations nationwide are slated for phased activation through the first half of 2027.
• Network Breakdown: The rollout comprises 38 charging bays across 19 sites operated under the chargEV umbrella, alongside 4 charging bays across 2 prime JomCharge hubs.
• Current Progress: To date, 7 operational charging sites have been completed and opened to the motoring public, with the remaining locations undergoing progressive installation and grid commissioning.
• Open Access for All EV Makes: Crucially, these charging facilities are not walled off exclusively to Toyota or Lexus drivers; they are open to electric vehicle models from all automotive marques, discoverable directly via the chargEV, JomCharge, and brand companion mobile apps.

By turning familiar dealership locations into accessible charging pitstops and simplifying everyday service scheduling via digital channels, UMW Toyota Motor is fortifying its ecosystem to defend its market leadership as the Malaysian passenger car market heads toward deeper electrification.
