Sime Darby Motors successfully delivered 1,000 units of the all-electric BYD Atto 3 within 100 days of the model’s launch.

PETALING JAYA:
Sime Darby Bhd’s automotive arm announced today that it has succeeded in delivering 1,000 BYD Atto 3 units within just 100 days of the electric vehicle’s (EV) launch.

The company commemorated this achievement by holding a record-breaking mass delivery event at the Bukit Jalil Stadium car park today, together with the car’s new owners.

This feat followed the 100-vehicle delivery milestone the company achieved in January just one month after the model’s launch.

Sime Darby Motors is the exclusive official distributor of BYD passenger EVs. Its portfolio of foreign car brands include BMW, Porsche, Jaguar and Hyundai, all of which are also rolling out their EV line-ups.

The BYD Atto 3 is an all-electric sport utility vehicle that boasts a battery range of up to 480km on a single charge. The car is available in two variants, priced from RM149,800 for the standard range and RM167,800 for the extended range.

It comes in five colours namely Surf Blue, Parkour Red, Boulder Grey, Forest Green and Ski White.

Jeffrey Gan, managing director of retail and distribution of Sime Darby Motors Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau, said, “We are pleased to sustain the momentum of our BYD Atto 3 deliveries to customers and today’s occasion is a celebration for all the new car owners”.

“We look forward to continue driving EV demand across our market segments,” he said.

Eagle Zhao, managing director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd and PT BYD Motor Indonesia said, “We are optimistic on the growth prospects of EV in Malaysia”.

“We hope the new BYD owners enjoyed their one-of-a-kind experience with us today and we look forward to continue bringing in even better new energy technology and products to Malaysia in the future,” said Zhao.

BYD recently opened its latest showroom at Gurney Plaza, Penang where customers can test drive the BYD Atto 3.

Located 6km away from the showroom is the BYD after-sales service centre in Sungai Pinang. The service centre, which has a built-up area of 20,000 sq ft, provides vehicle maintenance, wear-and-tear repairs, as well as body and paint services.
