Naza to produce local Peugot 206 variant
By Doreen Leong
Naza Corporation Sdn Bhd plans to manufacture a local variant of Peugeot
206 by 2006 at its plant in Gurun in Kedah for distribution under the
Naza brand, following the inking of a memorandum of understanding (MoU)
with Automobiles Peugeot of France.
In a statement on June 29, the local carmaker said the MoU marked the
first step towards a joint venture between the two.
“This vehicle should provide immediate opportunities not only on the
domestic market, but also for exports in the right-hand drive Asean
growing markets,” it said.
Naza and Peugeot have appointed Cycle and Carriage Automobiles to provide
the after-sales support, riding on its established network.
Naza also said it planned to manufacture Naza cars in Bertam. Currently
the group manufactures Naza Ria, Malaysia’s first national multi-purpose
vehicle (MPV) and Naza Citra in its plant in Gurun.
Naza’s subsidiaries represent various marques such as Mercedes Benz, KIA,
Peugeot, Bentley, Ferrari and Maserati. The group became a full-fledged
auto assembler when it launched Kia Spectra in 2001.
On June 28, Naza launched its RM80 million Auto Mall, the biggest
automotive showroom in the country.
