1 Automotive Industry

Centrally located in the ASEAN region with apopulation of more than 500 millionpeople, Malaysia offers vast opportunities

for global automotive and componentmanufacturers to set up manufacturing anddistribution operations in the country. Pragmaticgovernment policies, political and economicstability, sound economic fundamentals, well-developed infrastructural facilities and aneducated and skilled labour force have attractedmajor international automotive and componentmanufacturers to invest in Malaysia.

The rapid growth of the economy and the highpurchasing power of its population have madeMalaysia the largest passenger car market inASEAN. At the same time, the establishment ofnational car projects, PROTON and PERODUA,has transformed Malaysia from a mere motor carassembler into a car manufacturer. The industry

has boosted the development of engineering,auxiliary and supporting industries and contributedto skills development and the upgrading oftechnological and engineering capabilities. Thesefactors have further enhanced the attractivenessof Malaysia as a base for global automotivemanufacturers.

With a ratio of 200 cars for every one thousandpeople, Malaysia ranks among countries with highcar ownership ratio in the region. Toyota, Honda,Nissan, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, BMW and Peugeotare some of the global automotive companieswhich have set up operations in Malaysia to takeadvantage of the buoyant consumer demand.International component manufacturers, such asTRW, Delphi, Continental, Nippon Wiper Blade,Denso and Bosch have also made Malaysia theirbase to launch their products in the region.

MalaysiaYour Gateway to the

ASEAN Automotive Market

Reaching New HeightsCurrently, there are 28 manufacturing andassembly plants producing passenger andcommercial vehicles, composite body sportscars as well as motorcycles and scooters.These plants have a total installed capacity ofapproximately 963,300 passenger andcommercial vehicles and about 1 millionmotorcycles per year, with production cateringprimarily for the domestic market.

The automobile market has reboundedimpressively from the effects of the Asian

financial crisis of the 1990s. Total vehicle sales reached an all-timehigh of 552,316 units in 2005, surpassing the previous highs of487,605 units in 2004 and 404,837 units in 1997. Total vehicle salesin 2009 were 536,905 units.

Technologically, Malaysia has made significant progress, with Protonunveiling its first locally-designed model in 2000 and developing itsown engine in 2002. The new PROTON plant in Tanjung Malim ishighly automated, employing robotic technology, and is designed forhigh volume production and efficiency, using lean manufacturingprocesses.

Malaysia - Production and Sales ofPassenger and Commercial Vehicles

The National Automotive Policy (NAP) wasintroduced on 22 March 2006 to facilitate therequired transformation and optimal integration ofthe local automotive industry into regional andglobal industry networks within the increasinglyliberalised and competitive global environment.

Review of NationalAutomotive Policy

In October 2009, the Government reviewed theNational Automotive Policy (NAP) with theobjectives of:-

• ensuring orderly development as well as longterm competitiveness and capability of thedomestic automotive industry as a result ofmarket liberalization;

• creating a conducive environment to attract newinvestment and expand existing opportunities;

• enhancing the competitiveness of the nationalcar manufacturer through strategic partnership;

• fostering the development of the latest, moresophisticated technology in the domesticautomotive industry;

• developing high value- added manufacturingactivities in niche areas;

• enhancing Bumiputera participation in thedomestic automotive industry;

• improving safety standards for consumers andpromoting environment- friendly opportunities;and

• enhancing the implementation of current NAP’spolicy instruments.

The new policies and measures under the NAPReview are expected to provide significantcontribution to the overall growth of the industryand the country. Emphasis will be given inattracting investments in high value-addedmanufacturing activities using latest and hightechnology. The opening up of ManufacturingLicense (ML) for manufacturing and assemblingactivities in the selected segments particularly forluxury cars and hybrid/electric vehicles willencourage new investments and expansion ofexisting investments in the country.

The emphasis on safety and environment aspectsunder the NAP Review will ensure the continueddevelopment of the domestic automotive industry.The phasing-out of imported used automotiveproducts and introduction of mandatory standardsfor parts and components and standards for fueland quality will spur the development of theautomotive industry in the long run.

Regional Opportunitiesunder the ASEAN FreeTrade Area

In line with Malaysia’s commitment under AFTAand to encourage competitiveness in theautomotive industry, import duties on CKD andCBU vehicles from ASEAN countries havebeen reduced to 0% and 5% respectively. Forvehicles from non-ASEAN countries, the importduties on CKD vehicles have been reduced to0-10% while import duties on CBU vehicles

were reduced to 30%. To maintain governmentrevenue, excise duties are imposed on allvehicles, both locally manufactured/assembledand imported. The import and excise dutiesimposed are as follows:

Imports from ASEAN countries

Import Duties Excise Duties

CKD vehicles 0% 60 - 125%

CBU vehicles 5% 60 - 125%

CKD motorcycles 0% 20 - 50%

CBU motorcycles 5% 20 - 50%

Imports from non-ASEAN countries

Import Duties Excise Duties

CKD vehicles 0 - 10% 60 - 125%

CBU vehicles 30% 60 - 125%

CKD motorcycles 0 - 10% 20 - 50%

CBU motorcycles 30% 20 - 50%

Trade liberalisation within ASEAN has openedup a vast regional market, providing exportopportunities for automotive and componentmanufacturing companies. Carmakers will alsobe able to source cost-competitivecomponents from ASEAN countries and benefitfrom potential economies of scale.

The elimination/reduction of tariffs on motorvehicles by the Malaysian government, levelledthe playing field for all automotive industryparticipants. This is clearly an important stepundertaken by the government towards tradeliberalisation.

While Malaysia has no commitment to reducingimport duty for vehicles imported from non-ASEAN countries, in order to be equitable, theGovernment has also reviewed the import dutystructure on vehicles that are imported fromNon-ASEAN countries.

A Growing ComponentsSector

The development of Malaysia’s automotiveindustry has made the country a productioncentre for major automotive componentmanufacturers. Today, there are more than 690automotive component manufacturers,producing a wide range of components, suchas body panels, brake parts, engine parts,transmission and steering parts, rubber partsand electrical and electronic parts. In 2009,the sub-sector generated sales of RM 5.77billion, while imports amounted to RM 4.42billion and exports RM 1.98 billion.

4Automotive Industry

Among the major component manufacturers areforeign multinationals, such as Delphi AutomotiveSystems, TRW, ZF, Continental, Bosch and NipponWiper Blade while local companies include APMAutomotive, Sapura, Delloyd and Ingress.

In addition to supplying to the local originalequipment market, an increasing number ofcomponent manufacturers are exporting theirproducts, especially to ASEAN countries. Chinaand Thailand are also among the major exportdestinations.

The global trend in automotive manufacturing –the modular system – is also fast gainingprominence in Malaysia. Proton has taken the leadin implementing this modular system with the

manufacture of theProton Waja model.Some of the modulemanufacturers includeHicom Teck SeeManufacturing, APMIndustries Holdings,Delphi PackardElectric, Denso, AutolivHirotako Safety andSapura Automotive.
