“We are delighted to have been granted an extension on duty exemptions and can continue to offer our discerning Malaysian customers with leading hybrid and Energy-Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) at attractive prices. The locally produced hybrids are certainly a testament to the close cooperation between Mercedes-Benz Malaysia and our local automotive stakeholders, in terms of both product and technological know-how. In our commitment to the Malaysian automotive market and our customers, we have invested in a sustainable manner into our production plant and have brought in the suitable technology geared to support the nation’s aspirations of becoming an EEV hub,” said Mercedes-Benz Malaysia President and CEO, Dr Claus Weidner.
