MAN Malaysia Kicks off 2023 with First Time Customers - More are warming up to their Trucks here

It has been about a year after the introduction of the New MAN Truck Generation with low emission Euro V engines here in Malaysia and more freight transporters are now opting them as their choice for truck transport solutions. Following the heels of a 41-unit delivery to FGV Transport Services Sdn Bhd last month, MAN Truck & Bus (M) Sdn Bhd (MAN Malaysia) recently welcomed four new, first-time customers at its latest handover ceremony at Port Klang.

Artha Logistics Sdn Bhd, which ordered two units of the 6x2 variant; Mawar Movers Sdn Bhd which ordered one unit each of 4x2 and 6x), Transprompt Cargo Logistics Sdn Bhd procured two units of 6x2 and Vertex Mission Sdn Bhd got two units of 4x2 and three units of 6x2.  Each of them received their first units while Timur Permai Haulage Sdn Bhd completed delivery of its second unit of the New MAN TGS with Euro V engines. 

 

The New MAN TGS 4x2 and 6x2 variants, are designed for short-haul and long haul-transportation respectively, have proven to be reliable with no complaints from those operating them and the trucks are able to deliver the  performance and fuel efficiency required on the road despite the challenging weather and operating conditions in Malaysia.

 

At the event, MAN Malaysia Managing Director Andrew O’Brooks thanked the customers for their smart decision in boosting their fleets with MAN Trucks. He said, “MAN shook up the market when we became the first truck manufacturer in Malaysia to offer Euro V engines as standard across our entire product portfolio and we have not looked back since.  We are delighted to see more and more Malaysian transporters do their part in reducing their fleets’ carbon footprint with lower emission MAN Trucks. 2022 was an amazing year of growth for us and with increasing support from industry players, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead,” he said. 

 

O’Brooks also added that MAN Malaysia has been preparing itself to meet the demands of a growing pool of customers in the country. 

 

After nearly three decades in Rawang, the company has relocated its headquarters to a modern and spacious integrated facility in Shah Alam that would eventually house its entire operations, including vehicle assembly, under one roof. This is actually a more stategic move as it is closer to where most of the large transport companies are (Port Klang and its surroundings) and should be able to cater to more customers too. Being where most of the other major truck brands could also be a plus point.

Vertex Mission Managing Director Soo Chee Yeong said that MAN Malaysia’s innovative approach that included arranging test drives and visits to its head offices and assembly plant were crucial in convincing his company to invest in MAN Trucks for the first time.

 

The New MAN Truck Generation with Euro V engines as standard leads the way in driver orientation, fuel efficiency, assistance systems, digital networking and above all, sustainability.
