With the next-gen Ford Ranger and Everest almost upon us, Ford Motor Company today unveiled a massive modernization initiative for its Thailand plant’s manufacturing operations to support production of the aforementioned pick-up and SUV.

What do you do if you own a Ford Everest but want yours to stand out from the rest? Perhaps you can completely change the look of your car to mimic the iconic Ford F-150 Raptor, just as Thailand’s TTN Hypersport did. The Ford Everest is based on the platform as the Ford Ranger pickup, just as the Toyota Fortuner is to the Toyota Hilux. It’s a bit hard to spot the Everest in Malaysia because its rather pricey. For example, the base Everest starts at RM 228,888, while the range-topper sells for RM

While other car makers are concerned about slowing sales amidst geopolitical tensions and rising inflation, Toyota is actively working towards selling fewer cars this year and next. The reason? Its record-breaking pace is taking a toll on Toyota employees and suppliers, and the company now wants to slow down, take a zen moment to observe its surroundings, before thinking about its next steps. In the last financial year ending March 2024, Toyota Motor doubled its profit to 2.73 trillion Yen (~RM

Imagine a convoy of media folks, a fleet of Proton X90s, and a road trip for a durian feast. That’s how Proton rolled out the red carpet. The day was kicked off early with a breakfast. After fuelling up, we gathered for a briefing on the Proton X90 and the day’s driving plan. Each car was loaded with four media reps, ensuring everyone had ample time behind the wheel. Planned driver swaps at checkpoints meant we could all experience the Proton X90. From the moment the Proton X90 rolled, it showed

While China remained the world’s largest car consumer last year, sales of new vehicles in the country have slowed down in recent years. To boost sales of new passenger vehicles, particularly plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), the Chinese government began introducing subsidies under a scrappage program in late April. Still, retail sales of new passenger vehicles which include sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and MPVs dropped for the third straight month in June. According to t

As with any change in processes, a temporary slowdown in sales is expected in the near term due to the period of adjustment required for phasing in a new system. This should improve in the coming
