Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) has spent about RM300 dollars to his first multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), where he will develop and launch this month.

However, the society of the country’s largest in terms seemed willing to car sales, much more than his investment draw.

Motoring Writers gave an overview of last week MPV were optimistic about the prospects.

Writers but praise for the 1.5-liter car, the Perodua prefers as "a car can be a minivan, if you want it."

Perodua managing director Datuk Syed Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar Abdull said he has spent RM280 million to develop the MPV. More than half went to its entire 1.5-liter engine.

"The total investment is almost like the Myvi," said Syed Hafiz Business Times.

Perodua: We can produce the most advanced sedan

KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua is studying the possibility of producing sedan cars in the near future, Managing Director Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said today.

He said the second national car maker was currently studying the idea.

Aminar however did not give details.

"This is my aspiration. If there is opportunity and allowed by our partners and shareholders, this is what we would like to do," he told a press conference after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd
and UMW Corporation Sdn Bhd.

It is believed that Perodua might joint venture with UMW Holdings Bhd to manufacture sedan models.

Aminar however said Perodua was not keen to invest to produce hybrid or electric cars.

"It's expensive to build these cars and we don’t have the technology and research and development facilities," he added.

Under the MoU, Perodua is acquiring 25.6 hectres (64 acres) of land in Serendah from UMW Corporation worth RM16.7 million for the construction of new facilities and for expansion of existing infrastructures.

The facilities are a mosque, a child care centre, a mini gymnasium, additional parking space and utilities infrastructures.

"The plans we have in place for this land will be a great boost to our staff welfare and is part and parcel of our promise to place people first in whatever we do," he said.

The facilities will be completed towards the second half of next year, he said, adding that the gross development value still cannot be quantified.

On expansion, Perodua is planning to spend RM1.2 billion to RM1.5 billion in the next three years to expand current facilities.

It will include plant upgrade, network expansion, research and development, new model development and staff training.

Present at the event was UMW Corporation President and Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Syed Hisyam Syed Wazir.-- BERNAMA

Perodua Eco-Challenge gets moving..Let's!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:25:00 +0000

When we speak of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, one of the most active of car maker’s in our country is without doubt Perodua. Amongst its many CSR programs, one that stands out is the Perodua Eco Challenge, one that was created approximately 3 years ago to great success. Now entering its third year of competition, the 2011 Perodua Challenge has been tweaked to make it a lot more interesting and challenging for its participants. For those that are not aware of the Perodua Eco Challenge or how it works, it is a program that invites participants to design and modify a concept vehicle that car travel the furthest within a limited fuel supply. Which means that you need to create the most fuel-efficient vehicle with the resources that you have to win the competition.

The Perodua Eco Challenge is open to all universities and polytechnics in the country, and this year’s event will be held in the historic city of Malacca (more specifically the Melaka International Motorsports Circuit). The date has been set as the 25^th of June 2011, and up to 14 participants have already shown interest in the competition. This year’s competition has been made a lot more challenging as the participants would only be provided with the engine and transmission system this time around, a world of a difference from last year’s competition when they were given the whole car to modify (the Perodua Viva was given last year).

This also means that we will see a lot more different vehicles competing this year as the external design segment will be free of choice, and the contestants would have to construct their own chassis. Each team will receive RM17,500 in seed money this year, compared to RM10,000 last year due to this change. And in terms of fuel provided, the amount will be halved (down to 0.5-litres from 1-litre last year).

For the record Perodua’s in-house R&D team will also participate in this year’s competition, making the contest a lot more exciting. Prize money is RM20k for the car that can move the furthest with the amount of fuel that is provided, as well as RM15k for the engineering segment and RM5k for the design/participation category. 25^th of June is the date of the competition, don’t miss it!
