KUALA LUMPUR, June 28, 2023 – Sime Darby Motors, the automotive arm of Sime Darby Berhad, and BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, recently celebrated another milestone with the opening of two new BYD Centres in Penang and Johor Bahru. This marks BYD’s continued expansion in Malaysia. Developed by Sime Darby Motors’ subsidiary, Sime Darby Beyond Auto, the centres provide convenient accessibility to world-class sales and aftersales services for customers across the nation, strategically located in the northern and southern regions. With both new centres designed to offer elevated experiences for customers as they are integrated in shopping malls, the latest BYD showroom expansion in the northern and southern regions demonstrates the brand’s accelerating growth across Malaysia. 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. We are pleased to build up our momentum with this expansion drive to continue serving increasing EV demand amongst consumers across Malaysia with BYD’s innovative vehicles.” 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 EV. This further demonstrates the confidence in BYD’s branding and the strong partnership with Sime Darby Motors and we look forward to continue growing this.” 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 equipped to provide diagnostic support for accurate car maintenance and service needs. BYD’s integrated management of parts distribution throughout the nation ensures sufficient supply of spare parts for its vehicles and this is backed by highly trained technicians at the aftersales service centres to ensure quality care and expertise for customers’ ease of mind. Apart from the new showrooms at Penang’s Gurney Plaza and Johor’s Mid Valley Southkey, BYD Sime Darby Beyond Auto’s showrooms that are located strategically within the Klang Valley include its flagship showroom in Ara Damansara and the first in the heart of Kuala Lumpur at TREC, Jalan Tun Razak.
