Volvo Car Malaysia concluded the 2023 calendar year with a higher sales mix of its fully electric (BEV) segment, making up 18 percent of total retail sales and representing an increase of 37 percent compared to 2022.
Of the total, the company’s Recharge range which includes BEVs and plug-in hybrids
(PHEV) made up 71 percent of total retail sales for the year. Volvo Car Malaysia’s Recharge
sales mix places it among the top 15 global markets in the Volvo Car Group (Volvo Cars),
where the global average sales mix for Recharge variants stood at 38 percent for 2023.
Volvo Car Malaysia sold 2,694 cars in 2023 compared to 3,194 in 2022, which was a bumper year for the automotive industry following a full lifting of the Covid-19 pandemic’s social distancing and operating restrictions, coupled with numerous government incentives to kickstart the local economy.
Charles Frump, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia, said, “2023 was a transformative year for us as we pivoted towards a fully electric future. All of our fully electric models are now sold directly on our online sales platform for a secure, transparent and hassle-free ownership journey.
Despite showing a slight sales drop, we’re very proud to have defended our segment share given that we were in between product cycles with no new launches last year.”
“After seven consecutive years of growth prior to 2023, we expect continued growth in 2024 with new, fully electric product launches on the horizon. We remain steadfast and aligned with our ambition to become a fully electric, premium car company by 2030 and see this reflected in our direction and performance as a global brand,” Frump added.
2023 also saw the opening of the largest Volvo Certified Damage Repair centre by iRoll in
Juru, Penang in April and the launch of the biggest Volvo 3S showroom by Sisma Auto in
Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur in November.
Looking ahead, Frump commended the government for extending EV adoption incentives
such as the exemption on excise duty, sales tax, and import tax exemption for locally
assembled (CKD) EVs components until 2027, the exemption of import and excise duty for
fully imported (CBU) EVs until 2025, and a full tax exemption for EV charging equipment
manufacturers until 2032.
Globally, Volvo Cars set a new sales record with 708,716 cars sold in 2023, an increase of
15 per cent compared to 2022. The all-time-high is a demonstration of Volvo Cars’ strong
electrified product portfolio in combination with a more stabilised supply chain.
Volvo Cars also saw a significant increase in sales for its electrified cars. Last year, Volvo
Cars sold 113,419 fully electric cars, an increase of 70 per cent compared to 2022, and
152,561 plug-in hybrid cars, which was a 10 per cent increase compared to 2022. Sales of
fully electric cars accounted for 16 per cent of all Volvo cars sold globally during 2023.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced a collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group to expand its SmartThings platform to support connected cars, including electric vehicles (EVs).
The announcement came after the companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on January 3 to develop solutions for future lifestyles that fully integrate the smart home and connected cars.
The two companies will work together for the next-generation smart home to connect Samsung’s SmartThings with Hyundai and Kia’s connected cars, including EVs to develop
the “Home-to-Car” and “Car-to-Home” services, as well as an integrated home energy
management service.
The Home-to-Car and Car-to-Home services connect the smart home with in-vehicle infotainment systems, allowing for remote control in both directions. Through the SmartThings platform, users will be able to perform a variety of actions pertaining to their
cars while at home — starting them, controlling smart air conditioning, opening and closing windows, and checking their charging status.
And from cars, the control of home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners and EV chargers will also be possible.
“This collaboration will enable communication from Home-to-Car and integrated home
energy management services that are optimized for future lifestyles,” said Chanwoo Park,
Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics.
“By connecting the SmartThings platform with vehicles, we’ll be able to significantly enhance the customer experience in both the home and the car.”
Users will be able to adjust their environments with SmartThings by simultaneously operating multiple devices — including vehicles — through routines such as “good morning
routine” and “arriving home routine.”
For example, when a Galaxy smartphone’s morning alarm goes off, the curtains will automatically open, and the lights and television will turn on.
When users are ready to go out for work, the user’s car will adjust itself to an ideal temperature. Also, the smartphone and TV screens will display information such as the EV’s
remaining battery and driving range.
“This is an opportunity to make the connected car’s Car-to-Home and Home-to-Car services more convenient in various fields,” said Haeyoung Kwon, Vice President of Hyundai and Kia’s Infotainment Development Center.
“We plan to accelerate our technology development to continuously make global Hyundai and Kia customers’ journeys meaningful.”
The integrated home energy management service will allow users to monitor how much
energy is consumed by the connected devices in their homes. Energy information of their
EVs and chargers will also be available, enabling users to adjust the optimal time for
charging their vehicles.
EVs connected to the integrated home energy management service offer the possibility of automatically setting the optimal time for charging by factoring in different pricing by time of day, the power demand response (DR) program, photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS) data, and time-specific carbon emissions.
To further strengthen Car-to-Home services, Samsung is working closely with HARMAN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics. HARMAN’s “Ready Upgrade” is a digital
cockpit package product that allows hardware and software upgrades. With Ready Upgrade,
users will be able to install SmartThings functions to utilize various Car-to-Home services.

“The year-long satellite tournaments is something that I really feel has produced the requisite results in getting our young players to get ranking points in the PSA.”
Maj. Maniam said with squash making its debut in the LA28 Olympics companies and state organisations in the region should step up and start running events, noting that while Malaysia, India and Hong Kong are taking the lead, younger squash nations like Singapore, Bangladesh and the Philippines are also now coming into the fray.
A bronze-level tournament occurred in Seremban.
“ACE has started the ball rolling for everyone to emulate to the point that we produce more world class players.”
The Bronze event, hosted in Negeri Sembilan’s new squash facility, garnered substantial viewership on various platforms. ACE’s report indicates a record-breaking 3 million viewers with over 4 million video views on social media platforms and 33 thousand views on official broadcaster Squash TV worldwide. Astro Awani also broadcasted the semifinals and final matches live across Malaysia.
Chandran commented, “We did the Bronze tournament and bankrolled it ourselves to have people believe and be completely inspired by squash. We are creating a dream for our regional players, to have them aspire and hope.”
Confident in ACE’s trajectory, he highlighted the importance of their young team’s understanding of online reach, noting, “The Olympic inclusion has now elevated the sport and given it a new lifeline beyond PSA.”
ACE’s commitment to fostering a competitive environment for junior players extends to Asia, starting with Indonesia. Talks are underway with Jakarta to organise three satellite tournaments and two challenger series in collaboration with the Jakarta Squash Association.
In 2024, ACE plans to focus on running successful satellite tournaments for both men and women, four Challenger series – two 3k and 6k each, and another Bronze-level tournament to attract top squash players worldwide.
In collaboration with Cairo-based Faragallah Squash and Fitness Academy (FSA), ACE aims to organise squash clinics across Malaysia, elevating coaching standards.
The ACE Malaysia Cup Satellite series 2023 showcased international talents from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Egypt, Korea, Japan, and Indonesia. Malaysians Duncan Lee and Whitney Isabelle saw a leap in their world rankings and exposure as they emerged as the biggest victors in the 13-circuit tournament.
