BYD Auto, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, officially launched its first new mall-concept showroom in East Malaysia here yesterday.

The opening of the showroom which is located at the CityONE Megamall was a collaboration between BYD, Sime Darby Motors and local dealership Regas EV Auto Sdn Bhd.

Deputy Premier Dato Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian officiated at the ceremony.

In his speech, Dr Sim commented that the launch of the showroom is a testament to the commitment of BYD to shape a sustainable and interconnected future for Sarawak’s urban spaces.

“The showroom not only showcases BYD’s impressive range of electric vehicles but also symbolises BYD’s dedication to reimagining the urban landscape.

“We recognise that this initiative aligns perfectly with Malaysia’s ongoing efforts to foster a more sustainable and environmentally conscious society,” he said.

Regas EV Auto Sdn Bhd chairman David Tay said that they were honoured to have opened the first BYD showroom in East Malaysia.

He believes that the people in Kuching will be excited to have easy access to experience electric vehicles with the opening of the showroom as it offers shoppers a unique experience, catering to their needs through an immersive retail display.

“Spanning 3,000 square feet, the showroom located on the ground floor of the shopping mall will also operate as a 1S centre showcasing the latest models in the market, ready for shoppers to conveniently experience BYD.

“To support customers with after-sales service and maintenance, the BYD service centre is conveniently located across the street along Jalan Tun Jugah, equipped with two service bays,” said Tay.

BYD Malaysia managing director Eagle Zhao who also attended the ceremony said with the opening of their first showroom in East Malaysia, BYD gets closer to achieving their goal to make their products and technology easily accessible to all.

Through BYD’s industry-leading technology in electric vehicles (EVs), Zhao said BYD aims to redefine transportation in the East Malaysia region, reducing emissions and advancing sustainability.

“We thus look forward to more people in East Malaysia experiencing BYD EVs,” added Zhao.

Sime Darby Beyond Auto head of sales distribution Calvin Sze Tho, on the other hand, said his company also firmly believes that accessibility to the EV experience is equally crucial as they venture into new markets.

Hence, according to Sze, Sime Darby Beyond Auto is excited about the launch of the new showroom and its significance for the people of East Malaysia.
