Sime Darby Motors has set a record-breaking feat with its delivery of 1,000 cars in 100 days.
The special historical moment was celebrated together with the first 1,000 BYD owners in Malaysia at a mass delivery event held at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium carpark.
This marks another success for Sime Darby Motors, following its delivery of 100 units within the first 10 days of the BYD launch in Malaysia.
The event featured fun-filled activities for BYD owners who were entertained with live band and energetic performances, while lucky customers also took home lucky draw prizes.
Sime Darby Motors Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau managing director of retail and distribution Jeffrey Gan said the celebration marked a milestone in Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) market, and set a precedent that reflected the increasing popularity and acceptance of EV in the country.
“We are pleased to sustain the momentum of our BYD Atto 3 deliveries to customers and today’s occasion is a celebration for all the new car owners. We look forward to continue driving EV demand across our market segments,” he said.
BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd and PT BYD Motor Indonesia managing director Eagle Zhao said the record-breaking feat was testament to the strong partnership with Sime Darby Motors.
“We are optimistic on the growth prospects of EV in Malaysia. We hope the new BYD owners enjoyed their one-of-a-kind experience with us today and we look forward to continue bringing in even better new energy technology and products to Malaysia in the future.
“This will offer Malaysians the opportunity to revel in the advantage and fun of EV,” he said.
