RS Super Truck & Bus Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of S.R. Automobile Centre Sdn Bhd, marked another significant milestone with the recent opening of its new Tata 3S Centre in Bidor, Perak. This further augments DRB-HICOM Commercial Vehicles Sdn Bhd’s (DHCV) commitment as the distributor of Tata vehicles, to strengthen Tata’s presence in the Malaysian market.
RS Super Truck & Bus was appointed as the Tata 3S authorised dealer on December 2016. The opening of this new 3S facility will further improve sales and facilitate after sales support and needs of Tata vehicle owners in Bidor and neighbouring areas.
The new centre is located strategically in Bidor, making it convenient for customers from neighbouring towns. The spacious showroom can display up to six Tata vehicles at a time. The current variants on display are Tata Xenon Double & Single Cab Pick-up, Ultra 512 (GVW: 5,000kg), Ultra 1012 (GVW: 10,400kg), Prima 4×2 and 6×4 prime mover.
The service centre is equipped with Tata Motors’ latest diagnostic equipment and all the necessary specialised tools to carry out complete and comprehensive service maintenance as well as major repairs.
RS Super Truck & Bus is also planning to open another Sales Centre (1S) in Bukit Tengah, Penang by early 2018 as part of their plan to aggressively market Tata products in the northern region.
Last year, Tata captured the 10th placing out of 28 active commercial vehicle players in Malaysia, contributed a total of 571 units or 1.0% of total Commercial Vehicles (TIV) of 65,579 units.
Present during the opening ceremony were Rohime bin Shafie, Head of Automotive, Automotive Distribution and Manufacturing & Engineering Division of DRB-HICOM Berhad.
