Untuk peminat acara permotoran dan automotif, Majlis Persekutuan Pameran Motor Antarabangsa Geneva (GIMS) telah memutuskan untuk membatalkan acaranya untuk tahun 2021 juga. Keputusan itu dibuat setelah Jawatankuasa dan Lembaga Yayasan Geneva mengadakan tinjauan dengan peserta pameran GIMS. Sebilangan besar peserta pameran menyatakan bahawa mereka mungkin tidak akan mengambil bahagian dalam acara edisi 2021 sekiranya ia diadakan. Sektor automotif ketika ini sedang melalui fasa sukar akibat wabak

Menteri Pembangunan Usahawan Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi hari ini mendedahkan bahawa beliau tidak pasti dengan apa yang berlaku kepada RM 20 juta yang diperuntukkan kepada syarikat kereta nasional ketiga, lapor Malay Mail. Dia menambah lagi, peruntukan itu pada awalnya diperuntukkan untuk projek kereta terbang tetapi kemudian dialihkan ke projek kereta nasional ketiga. "Saya juga tidak dapat memberitahu anda apa yang terjadi dengan peruntukan tersebut, kerana jika ia telah diperuntukkan, saya yakin p
Buat pertama kalinya di Malaysia, dua laluan sepanjang 7 kilometer di Cyberjaya yang dilengkapi dengan pelbagai aspek keselamatan telah diluluskan untuk ujian kereta berautonomi atau pandu sendiri. Laluan itu digelar Cyberjaya Malaysia Autonomous Vehicle (MyAV) Testing Route – satu laluan pendek mengelilingi bangunan Futurise dan MaGIC, manakala satu lagi laluan yang lebih panjang melibatkan Persiaran Apec, Persiaran Cyberpoint dan Persiaran Rimba. Kelulusan pertama kali diberi kepada eMoovit Te
Selepas dua pusingan MotoGP di Qatar, keputusan yang dibawa pulang legenda MotoGP Itali, Valentino Rossi boleh disifatkan sebagai mengecewakan. Sekalipun berjaya menamatkan perlumbaan pusingan pertama di kelompok pungutan mata (tangga ke-12) di GP Qatar, pelumba pasukan Petronas Yamaha SRT itu menghuni kedudukan ke-16 pada perlumbaan kedua, GP Doha. Dan menjelang perlumbaan pusingan tiga di Portugal minggu ini, juara dunia sembilan kali itu mengakui dia tidak yakin prestasi buruk yang dikutipnya
Yamaha menerusi pasukan utamanya, Monster Yamaha MotoGP terus menguasai pentas podium di Losail apabila menjuarai GP Doha yang dimenangi Fabio Quartararo, tengah malam tadi. Ia adalah kemenangan pertama pelumba kelahiran Perancis itu bersama pasukan baharunya selepas meninggalkan pasukan Petronas Yamaha SRT musim lalu. Sekalipun pada satu ketika ketinggalan, pelumba berusia 21 tahun itu berjaya menggunakan segala kelebihan yang dimiliki jentera Yamaha sebelum melepasi garisan penamat dengan kele
The Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling that the management of a car park is liable of negligence rendering disclaimers of exemption clauses posted by the car park non-viable. Sunway Parking Services Sdn Bhd was ordered to pay about RM 117,000 of damages to Euro Rent A Car Sdn Bhd in the case where the rental car company’s vehicle was stolen from the premises. This means that car park disclaimer notices posted at various locations of a parking lot informing visitors that the manageme
Proton is an abbreviation or Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional. It’s a national car. That was the intention and it is something we should be proud of. Germany has Volkswagen, Japan has Toyota, and Korea has Hyundai. Other famous brands have been left out in favour of those that cater to the masses with “people’s cars”. Proton is 35 years old (We’ll take the Saga launch as its birthday). Toyota and Volkswagen are 83 years old while Hyundai is 53 years old. Proton is young in comparison to these compan
Volvo Car Malaysia today paved a new path for customers with the launch of its 360 total-care used car programme known as Volvo SELEKT. The programme is created for the discerning customers in mind, who want the same uncompromising excellence and quality of a new Volvo car but at a price point they desire. Each pre-owned Volvo car under the Volvo SELEKT programme is guaranteed to be under five years old and has less than 100,000 km in mileage. Once it qualifies under the programme, the car will
Though Kuala Lumpur is now a sprawling metropolis, it still bears signs of the jungle that it was before urbanisation took hold. We’ve often heard about Bomba being called to homes to remove dangerous animals that have broken and entered in, especially snakes. But we’ve definitely have not seen or hear a snake breaking into a car! A few pictures of a yellow snake slithering out of an air-conditioning vent of a Toyota Vios have since gone viral across social media. It is believed that the snake w
If you don’t believe in coincidence, then perhaps this incident might change your mind. A 27-year-old man in Oregon, USA was trying to escape the police when he conveniently crashed into another stolen car. According to Fox-affiliate KPTV, the police were able to locate the Toyota Land Cruiser after it was reported stolen. A car chase ensued when the police spotted the stolen SUV in the town of Newberg driven by the car thief. In an attempt to escape, the car thief raced through the town only to
It turns out that it wasn’t just used car sales that saw an increase throughout the past few months, used car dealers in Johor Bahru are reporting an increase in car owners trying to sell their vehicles after the Movement Control Order (MCO) ended in June. One second-hand car shop manager Chang Keng Keong told The Star that there has been a 30 percent increase in the number of people who came to his shop enquiring for information about the disposal of their cars. This was especially apparent in
The Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) feels that the country does not need a third national car as the existing two are enough. MAA president Datuk Aishah Ahmad told The Edge, “From the industry’s standpoint, we already have two national cars — that’s already too many. To have a third national car? I don’t think we need it.” She also did not comment on Perodua’s intention to be involved in the third national car project as MAA does not have details of the plan. Datuk Aishah also said that ev
When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,
We’ve heard of the occasional cockroach or even a cat getting stuck in the engine of a car. We’ve previously been shocked when a snake was seen slithering out of an A/C vent, but never have we heard a lizard the size of an alligator trapped within the car engine bay! This Toyota Vios owner had the shock of his life when he opened his car bonnet and discovered a flipped over lizard that looks like a Komodo dragon inside. From what we can see in the photos, it looks like the Toyota Vios owner had
A syndicate specialising in cloning cars by tampering the chassis number and forging documents was recently busted by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). In the process, 19 vehicles, including luxury cars amounting to a total of RM 3.5 million, were confiscated. Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said in a press conference at the KL police headquarters that PDRM first received a tip of the syndicate back on February 2 when KL CID raided a used car dealership in Cheras.

The third national car company project has been a very controversial topic among Malaysians ever since it was proposed. Even with a change in government, the project seemed to be ongoing despite not knowing where some of the funds went. Interestingly, another minister has said that the third national car project might not even be considered for development. This was first pointed out by Careta. Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Khairy Jamaluddin has said in a townhall livestream o
Running in (or breaking in) your new car is a standard practice that has been recommended by car manufacturers for the longest time. The task is simple – drive the car until the designated mileage set for the first service (anything from 1,000-2,000 km), but do not exceed 3,000-4,000 rpm to let all the mechanical bits ‘set in’. However, automotive technology have advanced tremendously in the automotive world, with manufacturers utilizing better quality materials for the mechanical bits, all in t
The Mazda 3 Touring Car Racing (TCR) is the latest addition to Mazda’s motorsports program, which will hit the racetrack in 2020. Information on specifications are scarce but what we do know is that power comes from a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, making 350 horses mated to a 6-speed transmission with paddle shifters. The designers have spent countless hours to ensure that the Mazda 3 TCR is compliant with all TCR regulations and flows with the smooth lines on the Mazda 3, retaining the signat

Every so often, you find people in the motoring fraternity raving about a certain car that has sublime handling, and is a joy to drive. What does it even mean? Beyond good looks, there’s a lot going on under the skin that can determine how well a car drives. Let’s dive into what makes a car handle great, in a road driving context. Balanced chassis A car’s chassis is the starting point of vehicle dynamics. A great-handling car usually has a very rigid chassis. Why? A stiff chassis reduces flex, i
It seems that Xiaomi could be hinting the launch of a new car based on a now-deleted image on Xiaomi’s Weibo account. But wait, there’s a twist! The photo of this Suzuki Jimny resembling-car was uploaded on Xiaomi’s social media account. Speculations have been going around on social media that Xiaomi will be producing yet another new car. This isn't the first car Xiaomi has ever launched. Back in 2019, they collaborated with Bestune to produce the Bestune T77 SUV. Earlier this year, they also wo
Many people have different theories as to when they should service their cars. Some swears by the owner’s manual, others follow their gut feel. The latter, which we strongly advise against. First, let’s break down the science. A ‘regular service’ includes an engine oil change along with an inspection of all relevant components. There are many factors that affect the interval, or frequency, of your oil change process. Traditionally, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000 km when using m
It’s a frantic start of the week for many staff at car companies. Following Friday’s announcement by the Prime Minister that locally-assembled cars will be exempted from paying 10 percent sales tax while imported vehicles will see the rate reduced by half, many car companies are swamped by calls from their dealers and stakeholders asking for details on what’s the next step. Without the necessary paperwork, the Accounts/Finance division at car companies are unable to proceed or give any answers.
In view of the soon-to-be launched third national car, Chief Executive Officer of Automotive, Robotic and IoT Institute (MARii), Datuk Madani Sahari has said the criteria of “National Car” will be defined in the new National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2019. “There is a need for the automobile industry to move away from petrol-based engines to hybrid and electric ones,” said Datuk Madani, as quoted by Bernama. Last month, Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said that the third national car shoul
If ever anything can go wrong during a car wash, it is when the carwash workers abandoned the car halfway through the wash. This Perodua Axia owner almost had to remove the suds on her own when MBSA officers decided to help her out. According to the owner’s Tweet, the carwash workers abandoned their posts when officers of the Shah Alam Municipal Council (MBSA) arrived to raid the carwash. All the workers were foreigners and would have been arrested if they were caught. Unfortunately for the MBSA
