“We say thank you very much to consumers who have been loyal to Honda motorcycles.

“Unfortunately, this positive trend in consumer demand was disrupted by the lack of supply of semiconductors in the global market, which of course has an impact on all industries, including the production of Honda motorcycles in Indonesia,” continued Thomas.
“We appreciate and at the same time apologize to loyal Honda motorcycle consumers who have not yet received the desired motorcycle. We hope that the supply of this global semiconductor will be able to recover quickly in line with the normal start of people’s lives. We really want to be able to immediately meet the needs of lovers Honda motorcycles in the country, so that they can continue to accompany consumers in their activities to encourage economic growth, which of course will continue to grow,” said Thomas.
Previously, AHM through its official statement had also sent an apology to consumers for the delay in unit delivery in May 2022.
“Thank you to consumers who have chosen Honda motorcycles as their driving partners and have been patient in waiting for the arrival of their dream motorcycle. We apologize for making you wait longer,” wrote AHM (31/5/2022).
“Currently we are trying to overcome this problem to fulfill the wishes of loyal Honda motorcycle consumers as well as possible. This is our commitment, as we have done so far to always provide the best products and services for our consumers in Indonesia according to the spirit of One Heart, ” he continued.
According to General Manager of Corporate Communications of AHM, Ahmad Muhibbuddin, the products that experienced delays in delivery due to the semiconductor chip crisis were automatic motor models.
