Kuala Lumpur, 1st July 2023 – GWM Malaysia announces the grand opening of their two new 4S service centres in Butterworth, Penang and Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, respectively. In association with GWM’s dealer partners CS Euro Auto Sdn Bhd and Seremban Victory Credit Sdn Bhd, this further strengthens GWM’s dealer network and commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences across Peninsular Malaysia, especially for locals located within the two states.
Transport Minister, YB Anthony Loke Siew Fook attended and officiated the opening ceremony of Seremban Victory Credit Sdn Bhd, making this a significant milestone in GWM's journey towards expanding its dealer network and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia.
During the opening ceremony, Mike Cui, Managing Director of GWM Malaysia, mentioned “I am grateful to have YB Anthony Loke, Minister of Transport, here to witness this significant milestone of GWM in Malaysia.” With GWM’s strategic plans in place, the opening of the 4S service centre in Seremban was a significant move to cater for people moving from cities to suburban areas, as the population of Seremban has also significantly grown. In addition, Penang is one of the major cities with a rapidly growing EV charging network.
As part of the government's commitment to a greener future, YB Anthony Loke recently mentioned that the proposed tax structure aims to encourage people to embrace electric vehicles (EVs). He acknowledged concerns regarding the potential increase in road tax for EVs after the current exemption policy expires in 2025. However, he assured that the government intends to align its policies with the goal of promoting EV adoption in Malaysia as part of its sustainability objectives. To address these concerns, they plan to provide clear and transparent information about how the road tax will be calculated, offering direct answers to potential buyers soon.
One of the key highlights of the GWM Seremban 4S centre is its focus on EV adoption, catering to the increase of demand for GWM electric vehicle owners in Negeri Sembilan. The centre will offer GWM’s latest line-up of new energy vehicles and aftersales service support, which aligns with GWM's commitment to supporting the Malaysian government's efforts to become a carbon-neutral nation as early as 2050. This initiative aligns with the government's plans to encourage EV adoption and aligns with the national target of 15% total industry volume (TIV) for EVs and hybrids by 2030.
Both 4S centres boast spacious showrooms that can accommodate a wide range of GWM new energy vehicles, allowing customers to explore the latest models in a comfortable environment. With multiple staff allocated at both 4S centres and a dedicated service area which includes multiple service bays, customers can be assured of efficient maintenance and prompt service. GWM's genuine spare parts ensure the longevity and performance of the vehicles, giving customers peace of mind and ownership.
These new additions to GWM's sales and service network reflect the brand's dedication to expanding its reach and enhancing customer satisfaction. By establishing more service centres, GWM aims to provide convenient access to support services for both existing and future GWM owners. GWM Malaysia continues to build trust and loyalty among its customers by providing comprehensive after-sales support and maintaining a strong service network to cater for peace of mind ownership. The recent opening of the 4S centre in USJ, which saw enthusiastic test drives of the HAVAL H6 and GWM CANNON, served as a testament to GWM's commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles and exceptional customer experiences.
