The new era of automobile Received in revised form 16 November 2016 safety is presumably come at the right time for Malaysia after the two important Accepted 25 November 2016 milestones i.e. local assembly initiative in 1960’s and the national car project in 1980’s. Available online 5 December 2016 The maturity of VTA exercise in Malaysia and the inception of ASEAN NCAP are contributing to direct and indirect pressure to car manufacturers to progressively produce safer cars. Since car pricing is driven by market competitiveness and not affected by safety upgrades, the consumers eventually would enjoy more values for their money through safer cars. In terms of car safety, the automotive ecosystem in Malaysia could as well explain the impact of NCAP in other ASEAN countries’ automotive layout. It is expected that there will be growing demand for safer vehicles and also positive response from OEMs in Malaysia and the region.

  • Automotive-191003-4Q19 Strategy
    Sector Update 03 October 2019 Automotive NEUTRAL National Marques Racing Ahead ↔ By Wan Mustaqim Bin Wan Ab Aziz l [email protected] We maintain our NEUTRAL rating on the AUTOMOTIVE sector. The MIER consumer sentiment inde x scored 93.0 pts (+7.4pts QoQ, -39.9pts YoY) in 2Q19 which is below the optimistic threshold (>100pts) due to muted growth post the zero-rated tax holiday. Reflecting this, we are seeing car sales trending in favour of value-for-money national marques. Non-national marques on the other hand, are focusing on higher-margin lower-volume models (catering to higher-purchasing power consumers). Notable developments in Automotive industry in 2019 include: (i) National Marques surpassing Non-National marques’ market share, (ii) Proton is expected to surpass Honda as no.2 trailing behind Perodua in total industry market share TIV powered by the all-new Proton X70, and supported by all-new and face-lifted models, (iii) increasing number of new model launches, and (iv) introduction of the third national car under National Automotive Policy 2019 by year-end. No changes to our 2019 TIV target of 600,000 units matching MAA’s target factoring the extra boost from national marques (Proton and Perodua). Our sector top-pick is BAUTO (OP; TP: RM2.75) which offers a steady dividend yield of 7.2%. National marques affirming leading market position . As of 8M19, the national marques (56%) continued to stay above non-national marques (44%) in terms of market share, marking a year not seen since 2013, attributed to the outstanding sales from Perodua, especially after the introduction of its all-new Perodua Myvi and supported by the all-new Perodua Aruz (25k bookings, 20.3k delivered).

  • Operations Review
    Operations Review PROTON’s MPV, the Exora, goes into production. PROTON 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 81 Operations Review The Group also anticipates strong local demand for the Persona and Saga, while export volume is expected to increase especially for the Exora with plans already in place to introduce this vehicle to the ASEAN market in the second half of 2009. Furthermore, with the expansion of the Overseas Manufacturing Plants in China and Iran, the export business on completely–knocked–down (CKD) vehicles is expected to increase as well. New robots and more sophisticated handling equipment were installed successfully with minimal line disruptions. Previous PROTON production systems and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) activities have already resulted in the main plant having one of the lowest downtimes in history and similar activities were implemented successfully in the Casting and Engine Transmission Department. Much effort was taken to maintain this. An increasing number of model lines or equipment was established through ‘yokoten’, a Japanese term which essentially means duplicating. The next stage in these intensive improvement activities will be the implementation of ‘Kobetsu Kaizen’ (which means ‘Focus Improvement’) and the usage of Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) as the de facto parameter to measure equipment efficiency. In view of PROTON’s commitment to improvement, the Manufacturing Division has started implementing the world-renowned practice of ‘Genba Kanri’, another Japanese term this time referring to ‘Shopfloor Control’. This is to reflect how the division is continuously improving itself by benchmarking PROTON against world-class industry players. We shall aim to reach level 4 (which means sustainable world-class level in shop control) in ‘Genba Kanri’ by the year 2011.

    RCAPS Working Paper Series RWP-12002 Globalisation and the Malaysian Automotive Industry: Industrial Nationalism, Liberalisation, and the Role of Japan April 24, 2012 Kaoru NATSUDA College of International Management Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan Noriyuki SEGAWA Faculty of International Studies Osaka Gakuin University, Japan John THOBURN School of International Development University of East Anglia, UK and Graduate School of Asia Pacific Studies Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan Ritsumeikan Center for Asia Pacific Studies (RCAPS) Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) URL: http://www.apu.ac.jp/rcaps/ Globalisation and the Malaysian Automotive Industry: Industrial Nationalism, Liberalisation, and the Role of Japan Kaoru NATSUDA College of International Management Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan Noriyuki SEGAWA Faculty of International Studies Osaka Gakuin University, Japan John THOBURN School of International Development University of East Anglia, UK and Graduate School of Asia Pacific Studies Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Japan 1 Globalisation and the Malaysian Automotive Industry: Industrial Nationalism, Liberalisation, and the Role of Japan ABSTRACT This paper examines the attempts by Malaysia to foster production by national automotive producers in a global industry dominated by a small number of major multinationals. Despite the use of a wide range of industrial policies, both standard import substituting ones and more targeted policies, the main national producer, Proton, has been unable successfully to enter the global automotive value chain. We argue that Malaysia is probably faced with a choice of accepting foreign majority ownership, as in its second national producer, Perodua, or reconciling itself to Proton lagging in both technology and marketing. One hopeful sign is the intensified assistance being provided by Japanese motor firms to Malaysian producers under the current Malaysia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement.

    News Release PROTON WINS BIG TO KICK OFF 2020 - Proton X70 wins segment and overall car of the year awards at 18th Malaysia Cars of the Year awards - Proton Saga wins Entry Level Sedan & Hatchback category - PROTON CEO, Dr Li Chunrong, named Automotive Man of the Year Kuala Lumpur, 10 January 2020 – PROTON’s new line-up of models continued to gain recognition when the Proton X70 was named the winner of the Midsize Crossover & SUVs 5 Seaters category as well as the Overall Car of the Year 2019 for the 18th Malaysia Cars of the Year awards. The recently updated Proton Saga was also a winner, claiming the Entry Level Sedan & Hatchback prize while PROTON’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Li Chunrong, was honoured with the Automotive Man of the Year award. Proton X70 recognised for helping rebuild brand confidence in PROTON The Proton X70 being named the Overall Car of the Year 2019 marks the first time a Proton model has won the prestigious award. Its strong sales performance in 2019 established the Company as the leader in the premium and executive SUV segment, while helping to rebuild its brand image. “The Proton X70 is the model that has restored pride and confidence in what is still seen as the national marque. It is also the model that brought people back to PROTON showrooms and the units we tested were of high quality. We expect the units being built in Tanjung Malim to be of similar if not better quality,” said Chips Yap, Senior Judge of the Malaysia Cars of the Year awards.

  • Automotive UNDERWEIGHT “March-Ing” Downhill on MCO ↓ by Wan Mustaqim Bin Wan Ab Aziz L [email protected]
    Sector Update 30 April 2020 Automotive UNDERWEIGHT “March-ing” Downhill on MCO ↓ By Wan Mustaqim Bin Wan Ab Aziz l [email protected] Given the worse-than-expected impact of the extended MCO and sharp slowing of the economy, we downgrade our sector call to UNDERWEIGHT (from NEUTRAL) with a lower 2020 TIV target units of 420k (- 31% YoY) from 560k (-7% YoY), mindful that the 2QCY20 is a lost quarter. With this downgrade, we will revise our company calls and TP in the upcoming reports. According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), TIV for March 2020 registered sales of 22,478 units (-44% MoM, -59% YoY). Both MoM and YoY sales growth skidded downhill due to the movement control order (MCO) which started on 18th March 2020. 3MCY20 reported TIV of 106,428 units (-26%), forming 25% of our 2020 renewed sales target, with national marques (63%) expected to continue surpassing non-national marques (37%) driven mainly by Proton’s robust sales growth (+19% YoY) and supported by Perodua (-26% YoY) to cushion the impact. There were no sales expected for April 2020 as the MCO was extended until 12th May 2020 with showrooms closed across the country. March 2020 registered sales of 22,478 units (-44% MoM, -59% YoY). Both MoM and YoY sales growth skidded downhill due to the movement control order (MCO) which started on 18th March 2020. Taking a detailed look at the passenger vehicles segment (-45% MoM, -60% YoY), both MoM and YoY performances tracked the overall unit sales trend on the above-mentioned reasons.
