The authorised Nissan showroom and service centre network in Malaysia is now fully operational, following closure due to the earlier Movement Control Order. With the revision to the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), many businesses, including those in the auto industry have been allowed to resume their operations.

Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) says that while all their outlets have reopened, there are revised operating hours. The hours of operation for each outlet can be found at www.nissan.com.my or www.tceas.com (for service outlets).

SOPs at outlets
In line with the CMCO standard operating procedures (SOPs), the outlets will conduct temperature checks for all staff and customers and require social distancing as well. All staff will wear face masks, and customers can also obtain face masks, gloves and hand sanitizers at no charge while they are on the premises.

Frequent disinfecting will be carried out at the showrooms and service centres throughout the day covering every touchpoint including display and test drive vehicles. Customers are also assured that their vehicles will be disinfected before and after service. During this period, ETCM encourages contactless payments to be used.

Additionally, all vehicle registrations and deliveries will resume progressively as JPJ has started providing the necessary services since yesterday.

With the Movement Control Order (MCO) in force, people cannot go to car showrooms as they are closed and movement is also restricted. This will be the case until April 28, 2020, the new date for expiry of the MCO which was announced today.

This presents a challenge for many companies, including those selling new vehicles. Virtually all companies have websites to present information to customers and now a number are also setting up ‘showrooms’ online.

Nissan Showroom Online

The latest is Edaran Tan Chong Motor which has today launched its Nissan Online Showroom.  While the website at www.nissan.com.my has comprehensive information, the complementary Nissan Online Showroom is more focussed on addressing customer enquiries relating to vehicle purchases.

Ar the Nissan Online Showroom, interested customers can submit an online form to make further sales enquiries or request for vehicle booking arrangements with just a few simple clicks. Within 24 hours of submission, a dedicated Nissan sales representative will be in contact with them.

What this means is that many of the processes of buying a new vehicle can be done during the MCO period so that when it is over, it may be possible to get the new vehicle quickly.

Additionally, doorstep test drive appointments can be made and will be carried out when the MCO ends.

Nissan has achieved a major milestone this week by producing its 150 millionth vehicle. It’s a feat that has taken the Japanese automaker 84 years to accomplish, which it attributes to the conitnued support from all of its stakeholders worldwide, legion of employees, dealers, suppliers and loyal customers.

The automaker managed to produce its 100 millionth vehicle in 2006 and at the time, 76.5% of the total vehicles that Nissan made, came from Japan. In the following years, it opted to localise production based on their respective markets, which helped bolster yearly sales figures even further.

That, Nissan said, was the catalyst that allowed it to build another 50 million vehicles in the span of just 11 years. And now, 76.5% that bear the Nissan name, are made outside of Japan with 13% of them being produced in Europe.

It has been producing vehicles in Spain and the UK for the past 30 years. And since its St. Petersburg plant in Russia opened 10 years ago, Nissan has been making full use of these facilities to feed the demands of the continent.

Currently, Nissan is gearing up to introduced its second generation Leaf, a name that is remembered by many as the first mass-produced family sized electric car in the world. Introduced in 2010, the car received a lukewarm welcome, thanks to a less than stellar range and worldwide infrastructure that wasn’t ready for the EV revolution.

This new car however, will feature some of the latest safety tech and offer an improved range over the first generation Leaf. This, coupled with new infrastruce to support electric vehicles, will help increase demand for the new Leaf.

If proven true, Nissan will be on track to have an excellent year. And it wont be long before the Japanese automaker announces that its 200 millionth vehicle rolled off the production line somewhere in the world.
