Allianz Malaysia & www.DSF.my hosts Vehicle of the Year Awards 2019
The DSF.my-Allianz Vehicle of the Year Awards (VOTY) 2019 made its grand return to Saujana Hotel to honour the best cars of the year at the Vehicle of the Year Awards 2019 yesterday.
Hosted by Malaysian motoring website www.dsf.my and Allianz General Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad, along with co-sponsor Giga Maritime Group, the VOTY Awards is the first local automotive awards ceremony which pays homage to both groundbreaking products as well as the hardworking Malaysians that brings them to our shores.
This year’s VOTY Awards 2019 features 19 categories including the coveted Vehicle of the Year for the Compact Sedan, SUV, and Pickup Truck as well as the best technologies, and of course, individuals and teams behind the scenes.
“In this room tonight, are some of the best brains that continuously imagine, engineer and innovate ideas for vehicles that not only fulfil promises but look good too. On behalf of Allianz Malaysia, it gives us great pleasure to recognise and reward some of the best car makers and their teams here in attendance tonight for their outstanding work and achievements,” said Zakri Khir, Chief Executive Officer of Allianz Malaysia Berhad.
The automotive industry has undergone some major changes over the last few years and 2018 to 2019 has been a toughest 12 months for the industry.
More discerning customers, stiffer competition, the advent of ride-sharing platforms and better legislation have altered the landscape significantly. Economic challenges and a declining Ringgit have further toughened the situation, forcing some brands to downsize or retire from Malaysia.
Navigating these unknown waters takes a lot more than just exciting products – it takes great, committed people.
Participation for VOTY 2019 is automatic and absolutely free of charge, with zero advertising obligations. This minimizes the risk of bias wins and ensures a merit-based system.
Besides that, the winners from each category was selected by the editorial staff of www.dsf.my, lead by editorial head, Daniel Fernandez and his dedicated team who love vehicles, big, small and well-priced.
