Perodua is now entering the third phase of its transformation plan aimed at raising the company’s competitiveness beyond Malaysia as well as aiming for a sustainable future, one that is integrated into Daihatsu’s global supply chain. Yesterday, Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin said that Perodua is also working with all its partners to see where existing expertise can be utilised beyond Malaysia. He gave the example of how Perodua staff are now working to design D
Perodua kini dalam fasa ketiga pelan transmformasi dalam meningkatkan kebolehpasaran Perodua di peringkat global. Pelan tersebut berkait dengan Daihatsu di mana pengeluar tersebut mahu membangunkan hub rantaian bekalan global di rantau ini. Semalam, Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Perodua, Dato’ Zainal Abidin mengatakan bahawa Perodua kini bekerjasama dengan semua rakan perniagaan untuk melihat potensi kepakaran yang ada dapat digunakan di luar Malaysia. Beliau turut memberi contoh bagaiman
Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional, the company which we now know as Proton Holdings, was established in 1983 as Malaysia’s national car company. Ten years later in 1993, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua, better known as Perodua, was established as our second national national car company. We are now in the midst of setting up a third national car. All three national car companies were mooted by our then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. In the early days, both Proton and Perodua were in every sense, a na
Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional, syarikat yang kita kenali sekarang sebagai Proton Holdings, diasaskan pada tahun 1983 sebagai syarikat kereta nasional Malaysia. 10 tahun selepas itu iaitu pada 1993, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua, dikenali sebagai Perodua, diasaskan sebagai syarikat kereta nasional kedua. Kita sekarang dalam proses untuk mengasaskan kereta nasional ketiga pula. Ketiga-tiga syarikat kereta nasional ini adalah hasil buah fikiran Perdana Menteri Malaysia kita terdahulu, Tun Dr. Mahathir M
Earlier this year, we reported that Perodua will become Daihatsu's regional R&D hub, and that it will be developing a new sedan for the South East Asia region. Where it got interesting was the part of the presentation slides that showed four silhouettes of unknown cars of various body types. While Perodua’s CEO Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad cautioned us against reading too much into it, he did confirm that one of it is a sedan and it would be a big project. Fast forward to today we now know that the
The 2020 Toyota Vios GR Sport (GR-S) could be the entry-level Gazoo Racing (GR) model in Toyota's line-up. Starting from RM 95,284 (excluding SST, valid until 31-Dec 2020), it is much cheaper than the GR Yaris but it is every bit as special. 2020 Toyota Vios pricelist (Without SST) Model Price 1.5 J A/T RM 76,623 1.5 E A/T RM 82,593 1.5 G A/T RM 87,584 1.5 GR-S A/T RM 95,284 The performance-inspired Vios isn't available at all Toyota showrooms.

Perodua’s manufacturing facility in Rawang is temporarily closed for retooling purposes. According to RHB Investment's newsletter, the retooling exercise is said to set up the production line for their upcoming Perodua D55L SUV. We all know that Perodua’s next model will be their D55L SUV and it is based on the Toyota Raize & Daihatsu Rocky duo. These cars will sit on the latest-generation Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. Perodua will be tasked to manufacture the D55L SUV as Toy
Perodua目前已经进入了其转型计划的第三阶段了,该计划旨在提高公司的海外竞争力,并着眼于可持续发展的未来战略,将自身整合进Daihatsu的全球供应链之中。 2月16日,Perodua的总裁兼首席执行官Dato’ Zainal Abidi表示,Perodua也在积极与合作伙伴协调,以发掘自身专业在国外市场的潜能。 他举例说,Perodua的员工目前正在日本开发Daihatsu车型,这是Perodua计划向海外输出我国专业技术的一部分。 他在当天宣布了该公司的首个可持续发展战略“Perodua Smart Build”,这个计划几乎囊括了我国所有的汽车供应商和分销商业务。 出于显而易见的原因,Dato’ Zainal并没有具体说明Perodua的团队在日本开发的是哪款车型,但WapCar.my了解到,在Perodua正在开发的车型中,有一款面向东南亚市场的微型轿车——D92A。 所有的信息都表明,这款车型将成为下一代的Toyota Vios。但正如上文提到的一样,Perodua没有销售其它任何在日本开发的Daihatsu车型,所以也不要认为这款车型会由Perodua销售。 去年年尾,
Following the announcement of a tax waiver for locally-assembled vehicles, auto stocks are revving hotter as the market anticipates higher demand. As reported by The Edge, Bermaz Auto Bhd’s share price rose by 8.11% or 12 sen at RM1.60 where some 4.1 million shares transacted. Tan Chong Motor Holdings Bhd, involved in assembly and marketing of motor vehicles and manufacturing of auto parts, had its share price increased 2.59% or 3 sen at RM1.19 per share.

是的,你没有看错:近日发布的2021 Perodua Ativa,要比Proton X50更加“马来西亚”! Proton在2020年10月推出Proton X50时,他们在发布会上声称,这款新SUV使用了约45%的本地零部件,并拥有406个吉利缤越所没有的独特部件。 推荐阅读:Review: 2020 Proton X50 - all the pros and flaws about Malaysia's most-hyped SUV! 但2021 Perodua Ativa在这个方面更进了一步,因为Perodua表示,Ativa将使用95%的本地零部件,这个数字已经与Perodua Bezza、Perodua Myvi和Perodua Aruz不相上下了。 不过,我们必须说明的是,“本地零部件”这个词目前的定义依旧比较模糊,车企很容易通过曲解概念来获得国内税退税。 其实,我国的许多制造商/装配商都会从其它国家进口汽车零部件,并在国内将这些海外零部件装配成模块,然后将这些半成品标榜为“本地部件”。而实际上,这些部件并没有在本地进行多少生产工作。 当然了,我们并不是说Perodua声称

Yes, you read that correctly – the recently-launched 2021 Perodua Ativa is more Malaysian than the Proton X50. Recall that when Proton introduced the Proton X50 back in October 2020, the company stated that the new SUV has around 45% local content at launch and has 406 unique parts compared to the Geely Binyue donor car.

Peugeot says that they will begin rolling out their new brand identity across their communication materials and dealerships by the end of this month. They aim to complete the rebranding exercise by 2023. The first model to wear the new Peugeot logo will be the all-new, third-generation Peugeot 308.

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) have taken the covers off the 7-seater 2020 Mitsubishi Xpander. Prices have yet to be announced (like many other companies, MMM has to deal with a very fluid situation in this Covid-19 period) but the company expects to release the price lists to dealers within November. Competing against the Perodua Aruz and Honda BR-V, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated Xpander is locally-assembled (CKD) at its local partner’s DRB-Hicom’s facility in Pekan. This is a different a
Come 15-June, all locally-assembled (CKD) passenger cars will be granted full exemption from the 10 percent sales tax. The keyword here is passenger cars. So although the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max are locally-assembled, both models will continue to be taxed at the current 10 percent rate because pick-up trucks are classified as commercial vehicles (though private registrations are allowed). The Toyota Hilux is assembled at UMW Toyota Motor’s Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s manufacturing subsidi
