Malaysia highly recognises Chery’s international corporate strength and showed great interest in this investment plan. The Anhui-based carmaker was also invited to participate in the round table conference with PM Anwar and the Malaysia-China Business Forum which was held on 1-April.
Chery is planning on making a return to Malaysia after being on hiatus for 5 years. It is reported that Chery has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Malaysia which is scheduled to be unveiled in the second quarter of this year.
The Chinese carmaker was reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with Inokom to start local assembly (CKD) of its models which includes the Chery Omoda 5 and the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro.
