Najib berkata Perodua telah membuat pelaburan mencecah RM1.3 bilion untuk kilang baharunya yang bakal siap Oktober tahun depan, dengan tahap kecanggihan yang tinggi, sekali gus dapat mengeluarkan model baharu yang lebih kompetitif.

"Saya harap melalui kilang ini, Perodua dapat mengeksport lebih banyak lagi unitnya, terutama ke negara jiran.

The Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV could become the first zero-emission light commercial vehicle in Australia, with Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirming it is investigating the new micro van.
The Minicab-MiEV – which borrows its electric powertrain technology from the i-MiEV hatch – goes on sale in Japan on December 8. Priced from 2.4 million yen ($32,000) – or 1.73 million yen ($23,000) with the Japanese government’s eco-car subsidy – the Minicab-MiEV promises to be marginally cheaper than the electric hatchback.

While Mitsubishi Australia is yet to lock in the tiny enviro-hauler, it admits it is “absolutely” under consideration to join the i-MiEV in our market.

Mitsubishi Motors Australia’s Lenore Fletcher said the local arm was waiting to get the full specifications and details of the vehicle to see if it was suitable for our market. She said Mitsubishi would assess the demand for the Minicab-MiEV and investigate whether it would satisfy Australian Design Rules.

submarine museum will be opened in Malacca

megat89 — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:38:34 +0800

Submarine Museum To Draw More Tourists To Melaka
MELAKA, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- A decommissioned Royal Malaysian Navy submarine converted into a museum submarine will be opened for public tours for 10 days from Nov 22 at the 1Malaysia Square, Klebang here.

Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the submarine berthed yesterday and would be raised from the dock on Wednesday and transported to the exhibition site through a makeshift jetty three days later.

He said the French made SMD Ouessant (Agosta 70 class) submarine, which was built in 1979, had been handed over to the state government.

The submarine museum project costing RM12.6 million is expected to draw more tourists to Melaka, he told reporters during a site visit here today.

Tickets for the exhibition are priced at RM3 for adults and RM1 for children while senior citizens will get a 50 per cent discount, he told reporters at the Submarine Museum here today.

The Agosta submarine was used for the training of the first Malaysian submarines crews from 2005 to 2009 following a contract signed by Malaysia for the acquisition of two French Scorpene submarines in 2002.

The submarine was transported on a floating dock back to Malaysia on the first week of October and handed over to the Melaka government.

RMN And MMEA Rescue Hijacked Oil Tanker

RMN And MMEA Rescue Hijacked Oil Tanker In South China Sea

KUANTAN, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) rescued a tanker with a RM12 million oil and gas cargo, from a group of armed pirates in the South China Sea,Friday night.

RMN Commander of Naval Region 1, First Admiral Datuk Mohamad Roslan Mohamad Ramli said the 19 crew oil tanker MT Nautica Johor Bahru was rescued at 9.10 pm after they were given clearance by Indonesia's Sea Security Coordinating Board to pursue the vessel into Indonesian waters.

He said the ship was earlier hijacked in the Strait of Singapore, near Batu Puteh about 5.30 am on Thursday en route from Melaka to Sibu, Sarawak.

"The shipping company suspected something amiss after they failed to make contact with the vessel and lodged a report with MMEA at 9.20 am Friday," he said at a press conference here, Saturday.

Also present was East Region Maritime enforcement chief First Admiral Nasir Adam.

Mohamad Roslan said the agency's Dauphin M7 002 aircraft spotted the ship 85 nautical miles east of Pekan, Pahang about 3.20 pm yesterday heading towards the Anambas Islands in Indonesia.

Three RMN ships, KD Jebat, KD Lekiu and KD Kelantan which were part of a naval exercise off the coast of Tioman Island, located 60 nautical miles south of the hijacked ship, were ordered to mount a rescue operation, he said.

The rescue ships finally caught up with MT Nautica about 8 last night near Jemaja Island, Indonesia and ordered it to halt, said Mohamad Roslan.

The pirates, believed to be a group of 10 foreigners, slowed the vessel down and blacked out the ship before escaping in a speed boat, he said.

MT Nautica captain Tang Ah Bay then radioed one of the rescue ships saying the pirates had left the ship and asked to be escorted to Kuantan.

Mohamad Roslan said there were no casualties in the incident and the pirates who were armed with a pistol and machete made off with the crew's cash, mobile phones and laptops.

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM), the official importer and distributor of Mitsubishi vehicles in Malaysia, has registered the first fully electric car in Malaysia, the Mitsubishi i-Miev recently.

The company plans to run a suite of activities to promote public awareness on the appreciation for environmental practicality of electric vehicle as well as to reduce global warming.

“Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia is pleased to be the first to bring in a mass-produced full-electric car to Malaysia to promote the awareness of zero-emission electric vehicles among the Malaysian public. Soon, Malaysians will get to know more about the innovative technology behind the i-MiEV, and experience for themselves the benefits of an electric vehicle, as test drives will be available for the first i-MiEV in Malaysia,” said Tetsuya Oda, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia.

Producing 49 kW of power and 180 Nm of instant torque, the i-MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle) is powered solely by electricity, and can be recharged from a regular home socket. With a top speed of 130 km/h, the four-seater vehicle can run up to 160 kilometres (100 miles) after charging eight hours at 230 volts.

The i-Miev accelerates 31 per cent faster than a gasoline powered car in the 40 to 60 km/h range.

“100% electric, yet offering surprising power and a smooth, quiet ride, i-MiEV is redefining the way the world drives. In the long run, we are happy to offer Malaysians the opportunity to purchase their own EV and make the choice towards a greener future. This effort is also in line with Mitsubishi Motors’ global direction to reduce the rate of global warming and to decrease dependence on fossil fuels,” added Oda.

Since its debut, the i-MiEV has attracted a lot of attention worldwide. When Mitsubishi Motors started delivery of the i-MiEV to corporate, governmental and local authority users in July 2009 in Japan, it was the first auto manufacturer to offer a car that addresses the issues of environmental pollution, global warming and exhaustion of petroleum-based energy supplies.

Sales to private customers in Japan started in April 2010. Since then, Mitsubishi Motors has sold around 4,000 units of the i-MiEV in Japan and has exported over 10,000 units in 19 countries throughout Europe, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Chile.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is based on the gasoline-powered i minicar, but instead of an internal combustion engine, its sole power source is a lithium-ion battery pack powering a permanent magnet electric motor. The 330V battery is located under the floor deck, while the electric motor is housed under the luggage compartment.

Mitsubishi Motors’ EV development history began with the Minicab EV in 1969. The company has continued its research and development, concentrating principally on motors and batteries. In 2006, Mitsubishi Motors developed the i MiEV.

A special showcase of the i-MiEV made its debut in Malaysia at One Utama from the 19 – 23 October. This showcase was held to create awareness on zero-emission of electric vehicles in Malaysia as well as to share the viability and practicality of electric vehicles.

Visitors to the showcase who had an opportunity to ride on the i-MiEV enjoyed the ride comfort of the vehicle especially because it runs extremely quiet. Visitors were also treated to fun activities prepared for the whole family.

Indonesian Sale Of Proton Cars Shifts Into Higher Gear

By Ahmad Fuad Yahya

JAKARTA, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- For the first time, customers who have booked Proton cars in Indonesia have to wait for at least two months to take delivery of their cars as demand has outstripped supply especially for the Exora Star model.

Since its June launch in Jakarta, PT Proton Edar Indonesia sold all 350 units in its stock and orders for 200 units received in August can only be delivered to customers this month.

Proton Edar Indonesia General Manager for Marketing Mazlan Mohd Zain said buy-back facilities, competitive pricing and easy availability of financing facilities has spurred the sale of the Exora model in Indonesia.

He said Proton's buy-back programme has encouraged financial institutions to offer bigger loans to customers, five-year repayment at affordable interest rates of between five and seven per cent while the booking downpayment was only between 15 and 20 per cent of the car's purchase price.

In an interview with Bernama today, he said previously, customers had to place a downpayment of between 30 and 40 per cent and in most cases, repayment was allowed for a maximum of three years only.

"Since April, we sold 2,500 units of various Proton models but the Exora accounted for 60 per cent of sales," Mazlan said, adding that PT Proton Indonesia had targetted to sell 1,500 units of the Exora range, comprising Exora Star, Exora Supreme and Exora President in the financial year ending March 31, 2012.

Proton Edar Indonesia has 18 sales outlets and more than 30 service centers in the main cities of Indonesia.
