    Dealership Staff Can Help Reduce the Number of Problems Owners Experience with Their New Vehicle

    Dealership Staff Can Help Reduce The Number of Problems Owners Experience With Their New Vehicle Honda Receives Two Model-Level Awards For Initial Quality, Perodua and Toyota Each Get One KUALA LUMPUR: 27 November 2015 — The salesperson plays a critical role in reducing the number of problems owners experience with their new vehicle, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2015 Malaysia Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) released today. Automakers continue to add features, specifically entertainment and connectivity technology, to their vehicle. By explaining at the time of delivery all of the features of the vehicle and how they work, the salesperson can make sure the owner is comfortable with the technology thus significantly reducing the number of problems the owner experienced with their vehicle. The study finds that when the salesperson provides a comprehensive explanation of the vehicle and its features, owners report an average of 79 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100). In contrast, owners who indicate their salesperson provided no explanation, or only a partial explanation, report an average of 163 PP100. “With all of the new content automakers are putting in their vehicles, it is absolutely critical for salespeople to provide comprehensive explanation of vehicle, including a test drive, to make sure the customer fully understands how to operate all of the technology and its benefits,” said Rajaswaran Tharmalingam, country head, Malaysia, J.D. Power. “The technology may work exactly as it’s designed, but if the customer doesn’t know how to use it or had difficulties using it, they deem it a problem. The salesperson can greatly reduce those problems simply spending time with the customer during the delivery process going through the vehicle and its accessories.” Tharmalingam noted that given the importance of the test drive, only 59 percent of customers in Malaysia took one during their shopping process.

    The Product Effect: Do Designed Products Convey Their Characteristics to Their Owners?

    The Product Effect: Do Designed Products Convey Their Characteristics To Their Owners? Raja Ahmad Azmeer Raja Ahmad Effendi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Design Swinburne University of Technology 2011 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Malaysia is unique within the Islamic world in developing a motor car industry that is geared towards both internal and export markets. After achieving initial success, its export performance has failed to match that of its international competitors. Factors that are suspected to contribute to this failure is in the technology and styling of its models. Moreover, with the implementation of AFTA (Asean Free Trade Area) in Malaysia, the car industry is expected to face the influx of inexpensive established brands from ASEAN countries which will gradually dominate the local market. The research was cross-cultural and tested for possible differences based on nationality and gender. It used qualitative and quantitative techniques consisting of a Car Positioning Task using Semantic Differential scales and a derivation of the Room Effect method in order to investigate the perception of cars and its effect upon the perception of its owner. The pilot and actual surveys using Room Effect method were carried out with international participants. The results indicated that it is reliable and can be used to reveal cultural and gender differences. The research also indicated that the Room Effect method is practical for application to the car industry. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis marks the conclusion of a three year PhD program in Design at the Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

    Global Trends and Malaysia's Automotive Sector

    2021-3 Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute Email: [email protected] March 2021 Abstract The paper seeks to examine the development of the Malaysian automotive sector in the midst of rapid global changes in technology, consumer preferences and sustainability concerns. The sector represents a case of infant industry protection which includes, among its objectives, the state’s aspiration to nurture Bumiputera entrepreneurs as national champions for the sector. Despite close to three decades of protection, the two national car projects continue to depend on foreign partners for technology support. The National Automotive Policies (NAPs) strive to push the sector towards the technology frontier with foreign and domestic investments while seeking to be a regional hub and grooming national Bumiputera champions. The inherent conflicts in these objectives create disincentives for investments while the domestic market is held captive to the national car producers. Although policies continue to espouse grand visions, the reality is that Malaysia’s car makers continue to be inward-looking and exporting remains insignificant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JEL Classification: O14, O25 Keywords: Automotive Sector, Industrial Policy Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean 1. Introduction The use of state intervention for development has been espoused in theory and practice in many countries. The World Bank (1993) study on the East Asian miracle economies is often attributed to illustrate the success of state intervention in industrial policy. However, the study itself cautions that the use of industrial policy needs to be supported with good fundamental policies, evaluation and monitoring of the support given.

    Asean NCAP's Success and Challenges in Promoting Safer

    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 89, 2019 ASEAN NCAP’S SUCCESS AND CHALLENGES IN PROMOTING SAFER VEHICLES IN THE ESCAP REGION Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim, Ahmad, Jawi and Ishak Abstract Starting from 2011, ASEAN NCAP has been mandated to carry out crash tests on new cars in the ESCAP region, particularly Southeast Asia. With a total population of over 630 million, the 10 countries comprising ASEAN have seen passenger vehicle sales reach over three million units. To date, 90 percent of the vehicles sold in ASEAN market have been tested by ASEAN NCAP. Their safety aspects have been greatly improved over time. But aside from the safety of car occupants, ASEAN NCAP is also concerned with the safety of vulnerable road users. In November 2018, ASEAN NCAP announced its latest road map which focuses on the safety of motorcyclists in the region. ASEAN NCAP’s efforts have also been recognized by the Malaysian government, as of next year, all car dealers are to showcase the star rating issued by ASEAN NCAP on the car’s front windshield and side mirror in all showroom and sales centres in Malaysia. This is to educate buyers to choose the models that give priority to the best rating. The current paper shall provide an overview of the results produced by ASEAN NCAP, including its success and challenges to elevate the safety standards of passenger vehicles in the Southeast Asian market.

    Malaysia's Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) Concept (MAI, 2018)

    © Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers Malaysia www.journal.saemalaysia.org.my Global greenhouse emission from both urban development and uncontrolled pollution has resulted in today’s climate change. In addition, the increase in transport demands that utilize internal combustion engine has led to an escalating need for petroleum. This subsequently has resulted in the depletion of non-renewable resources. As one of the world’s oil producing nations, Malaysia also needs to find an alternative way to reserve energy while at the same time, reduce harmful emission from fuel combustion. To achieve such an objective, the National Automotive Policy (NAP) was conceived in 2014 after much debate and discussion on the environmental devastation and climate change affecting the nation (Zainul Abidin, 2018). One policy which stood as NAP’s main focus was to turn Malaysia into a regional hub of Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV). What is EEV? People often wonder what EEV means aside from their benefits to the country’s economy and environment. Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) are vehicles that bring minimal harmful impacts to the environment in terms of carbon emission level (g/km) and fuel consumption (l/100km) compared to normal internal combustion engine vehicles. In order to control and reduce carbon emission, Malaysia has been involved in advanced technology transfer with more developed countries in addition to endorsing the Kyoto Protocol in 2002 to reduce 70 million tonnes of CO2 emission over a 20-year period. The country has also tried to apply the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to cut down at least 5% of CO2 emission compared to the current level where such a mechanism is used in the form of carbon credits or Certified Emission Reduction (CERs).
