charity drive

Organized by Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM), the Nissan Almera Turbo Fuel Efficiency Charity Drive was unique way to raise funds for charity. Owners of the sedan were invited to submit the best fuel consumption figure they achieved and the total number of kilometres of all the entries would be converted to money for charity at the rate of RM1 per kilometre.

Almera Turbo owners throughout the country participated, trying their best to get the lowest consumption (which was shown on the computerized display) and when the entries were added up, the total distance was 12,841 kms. This meant that RM12,841 would be provided by ETCM which would be donated to few charitable organizations (to be announced soon).

Turbocharged engine of Almera Turbo can achieve fuel consumption up to 49.5 kms/litre.

2.7 times better than official figure
For the record, the lowest consumption achieved (owners had to send a picture of the Drive Computer display) was 49.5 kms/litre – almost 2.7 times the figure officially stated by ETCM (18.4 kms/litre). In fact, the top 10 drivers were able to achieve more than double the official figure.

To reward the efforts of the top 20 drivers (click here for the list of drivers), ETCM will send them an exclusive Nissan GT-R by LEGO while the next best 30 will receive a special edition Nissan Duffle Bag.

Edaran Tan Chong Motor opens Nissan Flagship Store on Lazada

Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) is inviting owners of the Nissan Almera Turbo to provide their fuel consumption data and the company will donate 1 RM per kilometre to selected charitable organisations, based on the total highest kms/litre submitted.

Just get your best fuel consumption
The campaign, called the ‘Nissan Almera Turbo Fuel Efficiency Charity Drive’, is a simple and fun challenge that encourages all Almera Turbo owners to help make a positive impact on the lives of people who faced sudden hardship due to the COVID-19 crisis. They should take a picture of the fuel consumption displayed to crd@tanchonggroup.com together with their full name, vehicle number, contact number and Facebook page name. If the fuel consumption display shows litres/100 kms, the number will be converted to kms/litre by ETCM.

The turbocharged Nissan Almera engine can go up to 18.4 kms per litre.

Multiple submissions can be made for the same vehicle but only the best figure will be counted for both the prize challenge and donation. Prizes offered are an exclusive Nissan GT-R by LEGO as the Grand Prize or a special edition Nissan Duffle Bag as consolation prizes

The campaign will run until September 30, 2021, with updated results shown on the Nissan Malaysia Facebook page.
