TQ Wuling and Tan Chong Motor Group Partner for Local EV Battery Assembly in Malaysia
TQ Wuling has announced a strategic agreement with Tan Chong Motor Group to initiate the local assembly of electric vehicle (EV) batteries in Malaysia. This partnership, involving SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW), marks a significant milestone in strengthening the nation's domestic EV supply chain.
The collaboration, confirmed via TQ Wuling’s official social media channels, establishes a framework for the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) assembly of battery units. While the specific technical specifications, production volumes, and the exact location of the assembly facility have not yet been disclosed, the move signals a major commitment by SAIC-GM-Wuling to localize critical components within the Malaysian market.
Beyond supporting the local automotive industry, the venture is positioned to potentially transform Malaysia into a regional hub for EV battery exports. By localizing the assembly process, the partnership aims to capitalize on the growing demand for electric mobility while aligning with Malaysia's broader industrial goals for green technology and high-value manufacturing. Further updates regarding the project's timeline are expected as development progresses.
