The Malay Vehicle Importers and Traders Association of Malaysia (Pekema) has announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China’s Dongfeng Motor. This will see the launch of Dongfeng’s first right-hand drive new energy vehicle (NEV) in Malaysia sometime in the middle of next year.
The model in question is the Nammi 01 (also known as the S31), which is a compact electric vehicle (EV) that recently made its debut in China. Malaysia will be the first RHD market for the Nammi 01, which will also be a CKD model as localisation is in the pipeline.
The EV reportedly features a single electric motor rated at 163 hp and is powered by a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with an energy density of 157 Wh per kg, and is said to be able to be recharged to gain 200 km of range in just eight minutes.
In terms of size, the five-seat Nammi 01 measures 4,030 mm long, 1,810 mm wide and 1,570 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,660 mm. The EV was briefly featured in recent a Facebook post by Pekema – which has since been removed – and is seen on every page of the MoU press release from the association today.
“Pekema’s collaboration with DFMIEC (Dongfeng Motor Industry Imp. & Exp. Co.) is a significant step in our mission to usher in a more environmentally friendly era of mobility in Malaysia. The EV landscape in Malaysia is in a remarkable growth environment, and this collaboration places us at the forefront of change. It is a historic event in reshaping the future of transportation in our beloved country,” said deputy president cum acting president of Pekema, Datuk Hj Mohamed Nazari Bin Noordin.
“DFMC’s (Dongfeng Motor Corporation) impressive track record and wealth of experience in the automotive industry are significant assets for this venture. Renowned for their diverse car production, including electric vehicles, they are eager to apply their expertise in Malaysia and tap into the country’s promising electric car market. In line with DFMC’s global expansion, Malaysia offers significant untapped potential for right-hand-drive EVs,” added Nazari.
“This collaboration also enhances Pekema’s role in promoting various vehicle brands and products, as well as establishing a comprehensive after-sales service network. The two parties will initiate joint investments in the production and assembly of electric vehicle components, while seeking special incentives from the government. This collaboration also marks a significant shift in Pekema’s business model, as the association pivots from traditional imports to the electric mobility revolution,” read the release.
“Today, we gather here in Malaysia as the first stop for RHD model cooperation. This is our well-thought-out decision in the context of Malaysian government’s great support to NEVs and sincere cooperative willingness of our partner,” commented Zhao Xiaojie, general manager of DFMIEC’s passenger vehicle overseas marketing department, who added DFMIEC will prioritise local production in Malaysia to bring more EV products to ASEAN countries.
