MAN Continues To Grow Presence In The Southern Region
MAN Truck & Bus (M) Sdn Bhd (MAN Malaysia) continues to grow its market presence in the key Southern region as it expands its network in Malaysia.
Following a year which saw an overwhelming response from the market for its Euro 5-standard low emission New MAN Truck range, the company is expecting an increase in take-up, moving forward, as businesses continue to reach for sustainability and profitability goals.
“We are delighted to see more and more Malaysian transporters, especially in Johor, commit to reducing their fleets’ carbon footprint with lower emission MAN Trucks. 2022 was an amazing year of growth for us and with increasing support from key players in the industry across the country, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead,” said MAN Malaysia Managing Director Andrew O’Brooks at a recent handover event.
At the truck handover witnessed by more than 50 members of the Johor Trucking Association (JTA), O’Brooks shared that MAN was grateful for the industry’s support and the growing number of returning as well as new customers for its low emission trucks.
At the event, 3 companies that operated the previous generation MAN Trucks received their first units of the Euro 5-powered New MAN TGS prime movers, while 2 other companies were first-time customers of MAN.
The returning customers, Sri Kulai Transport Sdn Bhd and Kiaan Yap Transport Sdn Bhd, took delivery of the New MAN TGS 6×4, while Chain Hub Sdn Bhd received the keys to its New MAN TGS 6×2. Meanwhile, new to the MAN family are Modern Wong Transport Sdn Bhd and Soong Ki Trading Sdn Bhd. Both opted to invest in the New MAN TGS 6×4 which is suited for heavy-duty cargo transportation.
O’Brooks added that MAN Malaysia has been preparing to meet the demands of a growing pool of customers in the country. After spending nearly 3 decades in Rawang, the company has relocated its headquarters to a modern and spacious integrated facility in Shah Alam. This new facility would eventually house its entire operations, including vehicle assembly, under one roof.
“Having a good product is not enough. We are moving forward with a clear direction, building and developing a great team who are always willing to go the extra mile for customers. Our new headquarters in Shah Alam underlines our determination to be a people company, a reliable partner that provides the best possible customer support at all times. We will continue to work closely with industry associations to champion issues and drive changes. We want to earn the respect of the industry and further strengthen the reputation of the MAN brand in Malaysia,” he said.
