Following the successful launch of the EQS mid last year, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today
presents its all-electric flagship model EQS 500 4MATIC, now proudly assembled locally at its production plant in Pekan, Pahang.
The event was graced by Minister of International Trade and Industry, Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz at Mercedes-Benz Production Plant in Pekan, Pahang.
Sagree Sardien, CEO & President, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said, “Mercedes-Benz has
reached a new milestone with the roll out of its first locally-assembled electric vehicle EQS 500 4MATIC.
This supports our global business strategy of offering our customers a comprehensive EQ range and contributing to a higher EV adoption in Malaysia.
As a company, we are committed to our sustainability vision and “Lead in Electric” by evolving our fleet of new passenger cars to be CO₂-neutral over the entire life cycle by 2039, to support our introduction of all-electric vehicles by end of the decade, wherever market conditions allow.
On that premise, we continue to create a holistic ecosystem of electric mobility, not just via our products, but alongside our services, technologies and innovations, to ensure our customers can enter the electric future.”
Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz Minister of Internal Trade
and Industry said “Malaysia, as one of the leading and more mature E&E manufacturing hubs in ASEAN, is already taking steps to strengthen her position through policy measures, as well as by leveraging on the existing EV ecosystem and ensuring a solid talent pipeline.
All these bode well for investors looking to help us develop a viable EV industry in Malaysia, which will support Malaysia’s target of net zero GHG emissions by 2050. To this end, Mercedes-Benz’s launch of its first locally-assembled full battery electric car augurs well for Malaysia.
