1 Automotive Industry

Centrally located in the ASEAN region with apopulation of more than 500 millionpeople, Malaysia offers vast opportunitiesfor 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, Peugeotand Volkswagen are some of the globalautomotive companies which have set upoperations in Malaysia to take advantage of thebuoyant consumer demand. Internationalcomponent manufacturers, such as TRW, Delphi,Continental, Nippon Wiper Blade, Denso andBosch have also made Malaysia their base tolaunch their products in the region.

MalaysiaYour Gateway to the

ASEAN Automotive Market

Reaching New Heights

Currently, 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-time high of 605,156 units in 2010,surpassing the previous highs of 548,115 units in 2008 and 536,905units in 2009. Total vehicle sales in 2011 were 600,123 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.

Expanding Global NetworkObjectives

The overall objective of the National AutomotivePolicy (NAP) is to generate sustainable economicvalue creation. This will maximise the long termcontribution of the automotive industry to thenational economy and at the same time ultimatelybenefit the Malaysian consumer. The NAPtherefore aims to facilitate the requiredtransformation and optimal integration of thenational industry into regional and global industrynetworks. Consequently, the Government has setout the following objectives for the nationalautomotive sector:

To promote a competitive and viable domesticautomotive sector, in particular the national carmanufacturers

To promote Malaysia as an automotive regionalhub, focusing on niche areas

To promote a sustainable level of economicvalue added and enhance domestic capabilities

To promote a higher level of exports of vehicles

as well as components and parts that arecompetitive in the global markets

To promote competitive and broad-basedBumiputera participation in the domesticautomotive sector

To safeguard the interests of consumers interms of value for money, safety and quality ofproducts and services.

To achieve the objectives of the NAP, theGovernment will:

provide a comprehensive package of grants andincentives to support the development of thedomestic automotive sector;

encourage rationalisation of the automotivesector to create a leaner and more sustainableindustry structure;

encourage industry players to collaborate withexternal parties to establish stategic tie-ups;

creating a conducive environment to attractnew investment and expand existingopportunities;

enhancing the competitiveness of thenational car manufacturer through strategicpartnership;

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 consumersand promoting environment- friendlyopportunities; and

enhancing the implementation of current NAPs policy instruments.

New Measures in theNAP Review (Effectivefrom 1 January 2010)

The freeze in issuance of new manufacturinglicences will be lifted for selected segmentsnamely:

- luxury passenger vehicles engine capacity of1,800 c.c and above and on the road price not less than RM150,000;

- hybrid and electric vehicles;

- pickup trucks;

- commercial vehicles; and

- motorcycles with engine capacity of 200 c.c and above

The tax exemption on statutory income formanufacturers in the automotive industry isenhanced:

- from 10 to 30 per cent of the value of increased exports provided the vehicles and parts/components attain at least 30 percent value added; and

- from 15 to 50 per cent of the value of increased exports provided that the goods attain at least 50 per cent value added.

Import duty removal/reduction of import dutyin compliance with trade agreements.

The import and excise duty rates for completebuilt-up (CBU) and complete knocked down(CKD) are maintained.

Trade liberalisation within ASEAN has opened up avast regional market, providing export opportunitiesfor automotive and component manufacturingcompanies. Carmakers will also be able to sourcecost-competitive components from ASEAN countriesand benefit from potential economies of scale.

The elimination/reduction of tariffs on motor vehiclesby the Malaysian government, levelled the playing

field for all automotive industry participants. This isclearly an important step undertaken by thegovernment towards trade liberalisation.

While Malaysia has no commitment to reducingimport duty for vehicles imported from non-ASEANcountries, in order to be equitable, the Governmenthas also reviewed the import duty structure onvehicles that are imported from Non-ASEANcountries.

A Growing ComponentsSector

The development of Malaysias automotive industryhas made the country a production centre for majorautomotive component manufacturers. Today, thereare more than 800 automotive componentmanufacturers, producing a wide range ofcomponents, such as body panels, brake parts,engine parts, transmission and steering parts, rubberparts and electrical and electronic parts. In 2011,the sub-sector generated sales of RM 6.9 billion,while imports amounted to RM 4.9 billion andexports RM 2.4 billion.
