Selepas Pulau Pinang dan Selangor Festival Perlumbaan Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) ke lokasi di Johor pada 19 dan 20 Januari ini yang akan berlangsung di Medini City, Iskandar Puteri.
INI adalah peluang kepada anda untuk bertemu dengan barisan selebriti kegemaran anda menerusi perlumbaan Vios Challenge yang menampilkan lapan selebriti seperti Fattah Amin, Shukri Yahaya, Janna Nick dan Diana Danielle.
Mereka akan bersama Geraldine Dan, Danny Ko, Shawn Lee dan Venice Min bersaing untuk kategori Promotional di litar khas dalam bandar menggunakan kereta Toyota Vios.
Selain sesi bertemu peminat, aktiviti lain juga disediakan kepada pengunjung seperti pameran model terkini kenderaan Toyota dan aksi drift daripada pemandu profesional Jepun.
Ia bakal menjadi perlumbaan jalanan dengan litar yang sama sekali asing bagi semua pelumba. Dengan jentera Vios yang dibangunkan mempunyai kemampuan yang sama, hanya kemahiran setiap individu mengendaikan kenderaan yang akan memisahkan kedudukan di antara mereka.
Formula perlumbaan seperti ini terbukti berjaya dengan aksi-aksi yang mendebarkan, seperti yang dapat dilihat pada dua perlumbaan sebelum ini, di Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang dan MAEPS
Serdang.
Apabila kami memperkenalkan perlumbaan Vios Challenge ini, kami jangka akan dapat melihat peningkatan tahap persaingan antara pelumba dari semasa ke semasa. Tetapi, melihat sejak perlumbaan pertama sahaja sudah cukup untuk merasakan kehangatan acara ini, baik bagi pengunjung, mahupun untuk semua pelumba dalam ketiga-tiga kelas yang mempamerkan aksi pemanduan yang berkualiti.
Ia sebuah pengalaman yang menakjubkan, dan menjadi acara yang wajib dialami sendiri oleh semua peminat sukan perlumbaan, kata Presiden UMW Toyota Motor, Ravindran K.
Walaupun pada perlumbaan awal bagi kategori Promotional diungguli oleh Shawn Lee, sedikit
kesilapan yang dilakukan dalam perlumbaan terakhir di MAEPS Serdang menyaksikan kereta
dipandunya berpusing pada pusingan pembukaan. Shukri Yahaya tidak melepaskan peluang
keemasan untuk memanfaatkan kesilapan itu untuk muncul juara. Kemenangan berkenaan
meletakkan Shukri hanya lima mata di belakang Shawn, sementara tempat ketika diduduki oleh Danny Koo yang ketinggalan 14 mata.
Shukri
Semua pemandu ini berpeluang untuk muncul juara, begitu juga dengan satu-satunya pemandu wanita yang berjaya naik podium yang kini berada dikedudukan keempat.
Bagi kategori Sporting pula, aksinya tidak kurang mendebarkan, selepas perlumbaan di Kuala
Lumpur menyaksikan muka baru muncul di podium bagi kedua-dua pusingan yang berlangsung.
Pendatang baru, Brendan Anthony berjaya menjadikan impiannya untuk membantu jentera
pasukan Dream Team mencapai kemenangan sulung menjadi kenyataan. Dalam pusingan kedua pula, Patrick Tam dari Team Nanoplus berjaya merampas kedudukan pertama, memberikan kemenangan pertama kepadanya dalam siri perlumbaan ini.
Brendon
Dengan pencapaian menamatkan perlumbaan yang berterusan bagi Brandon Lim dari pasukan Tedco Racing di Batu Kawan dan MAEPS Serdang, beliau kini mendahului kedudukan
keseluruhan dengan 57 mata dan mempunyai kelebihan 10 mata mengatasi Ken Foo. Patrick
berada dibelakang dengan perbezaan mata yang tipis. Namun, Kenneth Koh, Brendan Anthony dan Jackson Tan mengikuti rapat di belakang dan akan berhasil untuk merampas kedudukan di atas sekiranya pendahulu-pendahulu melakukan walau hanya sedikit kesilapan.
Bagi kategori Super Sporting pula, saingannya lebih sengit antara tujuh pemandu profesional yang terpisah hanya dengan perbezaan 20 mata. Tengku Djan masih kekal mengungguli persaingan dalam kejuaraan ini, walaupun hanya mengumpul sembilan mata ketika perlumbaan di MAEPS Serdang. Tetapi, kelompok ini yang terdiri daripada Mitchell Cheah, William Ho, Mark Darwin, Shafiq Ali, Boy Wong dan Ser Ming Hui tetap mempunyai peluang yang masih terbuka untuk mengatasi Raja Drift Malaysia itu pada litar yang lebih lebar dan pantas di Medini nanti.
Dengan hujan sekali lagi dijangka akan turun, permukaan litar akan lebih sukar dijangka sekali gus menjadikan perlumbaan di Johor nanti akan lebih banyak aksi mencabar.
Pentas utama dimeriahkan dengan barisan pelakon Drama Sangat daripada Media Prima dan penampilan istimewa watak superhero Ejen Ali bersama Comot.
Terdapat pelbagai hadiah dan cenderahati akan diedarkan sepanjang hujung minggu ini, tetapi habuan paling besar ialah sebuah Toyota Vios Sports Edition yang ditawarkan sebagai hadiah utama bagi acara cabutan bertuah.
Peminat kenderaan-kenderaan Toyota juga boleh mendekati model-model terkini yang turut akan dipamerkan, termasuk Toyota Vios 2018 dan yang paling menarik perhatian, C-HR yang juga akan ditampilkan di sana. Sesi pandu uji turut disediakan kepada pengunjung yang berminat.
Selain itu, pengunjung tidak seharusnya ketinggalan untuk menyaksikan pertunjukkan lagak ngeri daripada juara dunia dari Jepun, Masato Kawabata dan Takahiro Imamura yang akan mengambil tempat dengan memandu jentera drift Toyota 86 sebenar.
Selari dengan usaha UMW Toyota Motor untuk mempromosi aktiviti-aktiviti sihat, selamat dan sesuai untuk seisi keluarga, litar lumba di Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR) di Johor ini akan dibuka selama sejam pada sebelah pagi Sabtu untuk acara berbasikal bagi mereka yang sudah mendaftar, sekaligus memberikan peluang kepada peserta untuk merasai sendiri pengalaman berada di dalam litar berkenaan dalam suasana yang selamat dan terkawal.
Tarikan lain sepanjang Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR) di Medini City ini ialah kehadiran peniaga-peniaga trak makanan popular terutamanya dari Johor sendiri, seperti Brader Doug, Tacoloco, Salys Streetfood, dan Aromorasa.
Masuk adalah percuma bagi semua acara di festival perlumbaan Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR), dan semua aktiviti akan bermula pada 9 pagi hingga 6.30 petang. Bagi perkembangan terkini, maklumat acara dan lain-lain perkara berkaitan lawati laman rasmi Toyota GAZOO Racing Malaysia, atau ikuti akaun Instagram dan Facebook yang disediakan.
2017 was the fourth consecutive record year for Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM). Achieving an all-time high sales record of 12,045 vehicles sold in 2017, which translates into an overall 2.3 per cent growth compared to 2016.
MERCEDES-Benz Malaysia is the No. 1 premium brand with a record breaking performance in 2017.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) remains the undisputed leading premium brand by driving the automotive industry to new heights with innovative mobility solutions and digitalisation initiatives.
A new sales record of 12,045 vehicles delivered to customers with a market share of 2.3% underlines Mercedes-Benz as the market leader in the Malaysian premium automotive market.
Best-ever results by the Aftersales division with 128,072 vehicles serviced as well as for Mercedes-Benz Services Malaysia which finances four out of every 10 vehicles, boasting a total financing portfolio of MYR 2.2 billion.
Mercedes-Benz continues to live up to its ambition of Best Products and Best Customer Experience, with over one billion invested in Malaysia since 2003.
The three-pointed star is well ahead of the pack in the premium segment, maintaining a 2.3 per cent market share*. “Mercedes-Benz Malaysia enjoyed a remarkable year in 2017 as a result of our customer centric strategy. We’re very proud of our achievements in 2017.
It is the result of great teamwork from everyone in the Mercedes-Benz Malaysia team including our dealer partners. We understand our customers’ requirements and target to fulfil their expectations. To deliver the Best Products, we launched 17 new models. To offer the Best Customer Experience, we launched nine new and upgraded dealerships, including a brand new dealer group, Auto Commerz Sdn Bhd.
As a result, we successfully achieved a record-breaking year, our best ever performance in the history of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia. Moving into 2018, we are confident of the growth potential in the Malaysian automotive market and will continue to invest substantially in developing key areas including talent, technology, production and service.
“This is the strategy behind maintaining our position as the No. 1 premium brand in Malaysia,” said Mercedes-Benz Malaysia President and CEO, Dr Claus Weidner.
“We are delighted to have delivered a record-breaking 12,045 Mercedes-Benz Cars to customers in Malaysia and by this confirming our position as the leading premium brand. Our locally produced vehicles, especially the new E-Class and the GLC have been our growth drivers.
We are thankful that our customers have put their confidence in our premium products. With our innovative mobility solutions, digitalisation initiatives as well as upcoming product highlights, we are confident of continuing on this success path,” said Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Sales & Marketing, Vice President, Mark Raine.
For FY2017, MBM’s sales was driven by the locally produced limousines which recorded 7,041 units sold. This was followed closely by the Mercedes-Benz SUVs with 2,599 units sold, spurred by the introduction of the locally produced Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 and GLC 250. Growth within this segment is expected to continue.
The Mercedes-Benz compact cars recorded a total of 2,031 units sold, while the aspirational Mercedes-Benz Dream Cars, also known as the brand shapers, recorded a total of 374 units sold.
The exceptional demand for Mercedes-Benz vehicles in Malaysia was achievable through the 17 product launches that excited fans throughout 2017. One of the key highlights during the year included celebrating 50 years with AMG. The milestone celebrated the supreme automotive performance, exclusivity, efficiency and highly dynamic driving pleasure of the AMG series. MBM marked the celebration by launching six new 43 series models namely, the Mercedes-Benz E 43 4MATIC, SLC 43, C 43 4MATIC, C 43 4MATIC Coupe, GLC 43 4MATIC, GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe and later, the AMG GT R.
Complementing its line-up of Best Products, MBM invested in initiatives that demonstrated its signature Best Customer Experience by organising various customer engagement activities focusing on the different interests of its target audience.
These included the Ultra Singapore 2017, Urban Hunting movement, and Hungry for Adventure in East Malaysia. In addition, MBM also launched a Mercedes-Benz branded charging station in Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC) and hosted the Mike Horn X Hungry for Adventure event, featuring the greatest explorer of all time who is currently on a two-year journey – Pole2Pole mission.
Moving even closer to its fans and customers, MBM continued to innovate exciting platforms to enhance customer touch points in 2017. These included mobile roadshows, the Mercedes-Benz Gallery, Customer Care Centre, and Test Drive Booking System. MBM also introduced experiencing cars in Virtual Reality, Digital Signage, Product Experts, Online Service Booking, Mercedes-Benz Financial Calculator and also a one-stop integrated state-of-the-art web platform which facilitates the needs of both new and existing customers known as OneWeb.
With regards to its dealer network, MBM introduced SalesTouch, a mobile sales tool which enables product experts and sales consultants to provide customers with real time information. The feature complements its existing features which are the Service Differentiation and Product Experts.
Always in touch with customers’ needs, MBM launched a new campaign in late 2017 in partnership with its sister company, Mercedes-Benz Services Malaysia (MBSM). The campaign, in anticipation for the Chinese New Year celebration in 2018, offers personalised and flexible financing packages to give Mercedes-Benz fans total peace of mind to finance their dream Mercedes-Benz cars based on their respective financing commitments.
Contributing to the significant milestones for the year, MBSM marked its 5th anniversary in 2017. Tracking a significant growth since its establishment in 2012, MBSM continues to provide a seamless experience with peace-of-mind financing and insurance solutions. For FY2017, MBSM financed four out of every 10 Mercedes-Benz vehicles sold and has a solid servicing portfolio of RM2.2 billion**.
With the introduction of new products like AgilityPlus and Lease2Go, MBSM provides a one-stop solution for all customers, further supporting MBM’s Best Customer Experience goal.
Attentive to every element throughout the customer journey, MBM’s dealer network excelled in servicing a high volume of vehicles while simultaneously maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction, achieving the highest Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) After-sales score in history. In 2017, the Mercedes-Benz service network was recognised as the global benchmark for body and paint facilities, processes and the implementation of Service Differentiation – My Service.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has 33 dedicated dealerships nationwide delivering the Best Products and Best Customer Service throughout the entire customer journey. To date, Mercedes-Benz has the largest premium dealer network in the country. In September 2017, MBM announced its newest dealer partner, Auto Commerz Sdn Bhd, which is part of the Swire Group, a highly diversified global business group which has been in operation for over 200 years. MBM together with Auto Commerz has allocated investments totalling more than MYR 10 million over the next two years for the expansion and development of Mercedes-Benz Auto Commerz Autohaus. The partnership introduces healthy competition and gives Mercedes-Benz customers greater options.
In FY2017, Mercedes-Benz achieved a total investment of over RM1 billion in the Malaysian market. One-third of this investment was made in its Pekan Production Plant and MBM Training Academy in Puchong, Selangor. This strategy demonstrates the leading premium German marque’s commitment in supporting the nation’s ambition of becoming an EEV hub.
Supporting the growing demand for Mercedes-Benz vehicles in Malaysia, the MBM production plant in Pekan, Pahang continues to be a clear demonstration of MBM’s commitment to the Malaysian economy. In FY2017, the production plant produced 9,286 vehicles. It currently produces 12 locally assembled models, the newest addition being the Mercedes-Benz GLC 200. All 12 locally assembled models are classified as Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs), three of which are hybrid vehicles namely, the Mercedes-Benz S 400 h, C 350 e and E 350 e.
MBM’s latest addition at the Pekan Production Plant is its paint shop that has a production capacity of 10,000 units per year, is equipped with a state-of-the-art robotic painting system, and is the first to use a 360 degree conveyor system in the ASEAN region.
Passionate about preparing future talent equipped to sustain the national EEV agenda, MBM continues to actively carry out its responsibility in supporting the nations EEV ambitions through the MBM Training Academy. An additional 27 apprentices were certified as at 16 June 2017. Going the extra mile, MBM also conducted the High Voltage Vehicle Introduction Training for Bomba personnel and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) aimed at fostering closer working ties between both organisations.
Taking its commitment of supporting the nation’s EEV agenda to the next level, MBM is moving ahead to create a more conducive environment by launching dedicated charging stations to provide added customer convenience and service. MBM selected Bangsar Shopping Centre as the location for its first station.
“We did great in 2017, and we are just getting started. We are confident of doing even better in 2018. Our commitment remains focused on providing our customers with the Best Products and Best Customer Experience. Powering ahead as a leader in the premium segment, we are very excited about 2018 as we have a few surprises in store that will excite our customers and the automotive industry as a whole. To give you a hint, one of these exciting updates will be in relation to our superior electric mobility technology in the form of the Mercedes-Benz EQ brand,” concluded Dr Weidner.
Earlier in the week, Daimler AG announced that on a global level Mercedes-Benz sold approximately 2.3 million cars worldwide in 2017, increasing its unit sales by 9.9 per cent, and setting a new all-time record.
Asia-Pacific was identified as the region with the strongest growth in 2017, delivering 875,250 (+19.2%) Mercedes-Benz cars to customers in 2017, more than ever before in a single year.
