Jetour begins CKD operations to strengthen position in ASEAN

Jetour Auto Malaysia has officially commenced local assembly operations (CKD) for the Dashing SUV and VT9 models at the Berjaya Assembly Sdn Bhd (B-Assembly) facility in Tampoi, Johor Bahru.

The 640,000 square-foot facility provides over 100 job opportunities, establishing Malaysia as a strategic hub for manufacturing and distribution within the ASEAN region.

B-Assembly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berjaya Assets Berhad, serves as Jetour’s local assembly partner.

This existing facility is equipped with Industry 4.0-capable systems, reflecting the shared commitment of both companies to high manufacturing standards, operational efficiency, and sustainable mobility solutions.

Wen Qiangkang, Vice President of Jetour International, stated, “This significant achievement reflects our strong confidence in Malaysia as a strategic market for Jetour.”

Fu Yong, CEO of Jetour Malaysia, added, “With the launch of local manufacturing operations, we are proud to offer high-quality vehicles assembled in Malaysia, in line with our ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.”

Since the official launch of its first product line in Malaysia, Jetour has seen rapid growth, expanding to over 20 branches across the country.

These CKD operations mark an important milestone in efforts to accelerate local procurement to meet increasing demand, shorten delivery times, and enhance customer satisfaction through added value for consumers in Malaysia.

Currently, the facility focuses on assembling the Dashing and VT9 models, with over 1,000 vehicles produced so far.

Deliveries of the locally assembled Dashing model began in June 2025, followed by the VT9 model in the near future.

Looking ahead, Jetour plans to invest approximately RM1.4 billion in Malaysia to support the launch of more locally assembled models and exports to neighboring countries in the ASEAN region.
