JETOUR Auto Malaysia has officially commenced local assembly operations for its popular SUV models, JETOUR Dashing and VT9, at the Berjaya Assembly Sdn. Bhd. (B-Assembly) facility in Tampoi, Johor Bahru. This milestone marks a significant step in JETOUR’s localisation strategy and reinforces the brand’s long-term commitment to the Malaysian automotive market.
The local assembly operation is housed within B-Assembly’s existing 640,000 sq. ft. facility, supported by a dedicated workforce of more than 100 employees, positioning Malaysia as a strategic manufacturing and distribution hub for the ASEAN region. This local assembly initiative aligns with Malaysia’s automotive ambitions by increasing localisation, creating skilled employment opportunities, and fostering deeper integration within the local supply chain.
“This important milestone reflects our strong confidence in Malaysia as a strategic market for JETOUR. The local assembly of the Dashing and VT9 is not only a production advancement, but also a significant investment in talent, innovation, and the future potential of mobility in the region,” said Mr. Wen Qiangkang, Vice President of JETOUR International.
According to Mr. Fu Yong, Chief Executive Officer of JETOUR Malaysia, “With the full launch of local production, we are proud to deliver high-quality vehicles assembled in Malaysia, reflecting our continued commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. This collaboration with B-Assembly also lays a solid foundation for our broader expansion across the ASEAN region.”
Since the official launch of the first product line in Malaysia 2025, JETOUR has rapidly expanded its presence with more than 20 outlets nationwide. The local assembly represents a pivotal moment as the brand accelerates localisation efforts to meet rising demand, improving the delivery timelines, and offering enhanced value to Malaysian customers.
B-Assembly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berjaya Assets Berhad, serves as JETOUR’s local production partner. The established facility is equipped with Industry 4.0-ready systems, reflecting both companies’ shared commitment to high manufacturing standards, operational efficiency, and sustainable mobility solutions.
“We are proud to be the local assembly partner for JETOUR in Malaysia. This collaboration reflects our shared belief in the future of Malaysia’s automotive sector and our commitment to contributing to the nation’s industrial development,” said Dato’ Tony Khor, Advisor of B-Assembly.
Currently, the facility focuses on the assembly of the JETOUR Dashing and VT9 — two standout models that have quickly gained traction among Malaysian consumers. The Dashing caters to urban lifestyles with its fastback-inspired design and intelligent features, while the VT9 is designed for families and long-distance travellers with its spacious 7-seater layout and smart convenience technologies. The plant has produced over 1,000 units, with deliveries of the locally assembled JETOUR Dashing beginning in June 2025, followed by the VT9 shortly thereafter.
Moving forward, JETOUR plans to invest approximately RM1.4 billion in Malaysia to support the introduction of more local assembly models, with plans to expand exports to neighbouring ASEAN countries. Looking ahead, JETOUR will continue to enrich its lineup of localised models and accelerate its efforts to penetrate the ASEAN market.
