Malaysia & Indonesia to work together on Asean vehicle
14 Aug
Malaysia and Indonesia to collaborate on joint venture to produce Asean vehicle.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed in Jakarta recently, Malaysia and Indonesia will work together on producing a new Asean vehicle.
The Malaysian Automotive Institute (MAI) and the Indonesian Automotive Institute (IOI) will be in charge of running the venture.
They will establish a new brand producing vehicle components and improving the automotive manufacturing workforce.
Minister Darrell Leiking signed the MoU, during a visit to follow up the meeting between Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and President Joko Widodo in June.
MAI CEO Mohamad Madani Sahari said the two countries will also look into the possibility of manufacturing cars that run on biodiesel, utilising palm oil.
“We will have more cooperation on research to advance our capabilities in creating electrical, hybrid vehicles,” said Madani.
Indonesian Industry Ministry’s director-general of resilience and development of international industrial access, Gusti Putu Suryawirawan, said at present there were 2,000 Indonesian and Malaysian automotive component makers.
He said the agreement sought to create multiple types of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial and special-purpose vehicles.
“There are more than 640 million inhabitants in Asean.
“They will grow, and so will their purchasing power for vehicles. Therefore, we will do our best to supply to that market,” said Putu.
Both countries are encouraging other Asean members most notably Thailand, which is the region’s largest automotive producer, to join them.

MARKETING Magazine is not responsible for the content of external sites.
After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.
We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.
Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.
Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.
Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.
Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
