KUALA LUMPUR: Two new BYD Centres were opened recently in Penang and Johor Bahru, as the new energy Chinese automaker continues its expansion in Malaysia.
Developed by Sime Darby Motors’ subsidiary, Sime Darby Beyond Auto, the centres provide accessibility to sales and aftersales services.
Jeffrey Gan, managing director of Sime Darby Motors Retail and Distribution – Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, said, “The response to BYD in the Malaysian market has been overwhelmingly positive, clearly demonstrating growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country.”
Eagle Zhao, managing director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd and PT BYD Motor Indonesia, commented, “The aggressive expansion of BYD’s network in Malaysia shows positive growth for EV prospects in the country, as more Malaysians recognise BYD’s brand presence and the benefits of EVs.”
BYD customers from the northern and southern region can now enjoy various amenities in these new BYD 1S & 2S Centres.
The aftersales service centres are staffed by highly trained technicians and can provide diagnostic support for car maintenance and service needs.
According to BYD, its integrated management of parts distribution throughout the nation ensures sufficient supply of spare parts.
Apart from the new showrooms at Penang’s Gurney Plaza and Johor’s Mid Valley Southkey, BYD Sime Darby Beyond Auto’s showrooms include its flagship showroom in Ara Damansara and the first in the heart of Kuala Lumpur at TREC, Jalan Tun Razak.
