Weststar Maxus launches their 2018 Maxus V80 commercial van alongside the opening of its new 3S facility in Bukit Mertajam.
The new facility will act as the Weststar Maxus northern hub to provide quality service and the much-needed support to its present and future Maxus customers in Perak, Penang, Kedah and Perlis as the economic propulsion in the Northern region was one of the key factors that encouraged the opening of the new facility.
With its expanded range of product and services packaged with promotional campaigns, sales are expected to increase by at least 30 per cent.
“We’re making a great leap forward to become a mainstream automobile player in Malaysia.”
“We now have refreshed and expanded award-winning models such as Maxus G10 and Maxus V80, and an expanding network of showrooms and after sales service facilities, to achieve our goal,” said the Weststar Group executive director, Datuk Vikram Menon.
He added that the after-sales component is an integral part of its overall plan to grow the Weststar Maxus brand.
“This facility together with our appointed service dealers in the region are able to serve our customers with well trained technicians.
“Plans are afoot to operate another 3S facility in Alor Star in the foreseeable future to consolidate Weststar Maxus’ presence in the Northern region,” Menon elaborated.
The cost-competitive commercial van has the capacity to be customised to meet individual business needs and among its growing number of fleet customers include Eco Coach Travel and Tours, DHL, Federal Express as well as FFM-Massimo.
Also, a huge fleet of these vans are already operated by various government agencies including the Malaysian Armed Forces, Ministry of Health, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, among others.
The Maxus V80 has passed the world’s most rigid ECE automobile road tests in severe conditions including extreme temperatures, high altitudes and with the support and global resources of SAIC Automotive Co Ltd, China’s largest automobile company, the Maxus V80 carries its core parts and components from world renowned component suppliers.
The Maxus V80 panel van’s flexibility allows for customisation and transformation to be used as mobile offices, food and kitchen trucks, ambulances, mobile libraries, delivery vehicles and mobile sales showrooms.
The Maxus V80 window van’s platform as a full-sized transporter is a category leader in terms of its size and headroom space as it can sit 15 people comfortably.
“We are shifting gears and committed to enhancing the quality gap by building affordable and fuel-efficient vehicles to meet Asean preferences.”
“The new line of Maxus V80 vans comes with upgraded features as well as volume of space, it also has all the trappings of a value-for-money commercial van that is truly ‘Built to Work’,” added Menon.
As part of its green initiative, Weststar Maxus plans to launch the fully electric versions of the Maxus V80 known as EV80 in the near future.
“This is a significant proposition for companies like Weststar Maxus seriously looking at lowering carbon footprint while concurrently manufacturing fully functional vehicles with competitive running costs,” Menon stated.
To commemorate the unveiling of the V80, Weststar Maxus is offering incentives for Maxus V80 customers with 150,000 km free service with a three year warranty as well as free service for all Weststar Maxus models includes parts, labour, and lubricants.
