Here is a brief recap of some corporate announcements that made news on Thursday (Dec 8) involving Sime Darby Motors, Gamuda Bhd, Sapura Energy Bhd, ...

Its revenue also rose to RM1.03 billion from RM928.17 million a year earlier, due to healthy contributions from its packaging and property divisions. Reneuco Bhd (formerly known as KPower Bhd) has inked a joint venture agreement with the Terengganu government for the development of a mixed housing project in Kuala Nerus. Bermaz Auto Bhd's net profit soared to RM65.67 million in the second quarter ended Oct 31, 2022 from RM26.04 million last year due to higher sales, better contributions from associates and the appreciation of the ringgit against the Japanese yen. LFE Corp Bhd proposed a private placement to partially fund the acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in its 51%-owned construction firm Cosmo Property Management Sdn Bhd. Ranhill Utilities Bhd’s unit bagged a RM15 million contract for the provision of detailed design engineering services for the Rosmari-Marjoram gas project’s solar power offshore platform for Sarawak Shell Bhd. Cypark Resources Bhd and its indirect subsidiaries have been awarded feed-in approval certificates by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (Seda) for a period of 21 years, while Tenaga Nasional Bhd will purchase the electricity from the project companies at pre-agreed feed-in tariff rates.

The group distributes Mazda, Peugeot and Kia in Malaysia, and achieved a higher revenue of RM782.97 million from RM483.84 million a year ago due to substantial back orders for all three marques received during the sales tax exemption incentive period. Moving forward, the group has committed to continuing its review of underperforming contracts, as well as renegotiating commercial settlements with customers.

At the launch, Tengku Zafrul commented that the collaboration between BYD and SDM bodes well for the EV ecosystem, and he hopes that the cooperation will spur the development of the renewable energy industry beyond merely EV distribution and into the manufacturing of critical EV components. “EVs are a new and competitive environment. By the end of next year, 20 more showrooms would be built in Malaysia, and doubling that in 2024. “There are many products under the BYD brand, and we are working closely to identify which car would be the best to bring in next,” he said. Having said that, both BYD and SDM said they have not decided where BYD cars that are to be sold in Malaysia would be assembled. However, with the cost of EV’s being the primary challenge in Malaysia’s adoption of such vehicles on a larger scale, and in response to whether SDM would be bringing in more economical cars from BYD, Gan said SDM would not be stopping with the ATTO 3.

There’s another separate warranty for the drive unit – eight years or 150,000 km for the motor, motor controller, DC assembly and electric control assembly. So, what do you think of the BYD Atto 3? From the outside, the ER can be differentiated by its 18-inch wheels and 215/55 Batman tyres. Safety wise, it’s very comprehensive on this five-star Euro NCAP rated car, and both SR and ER get the same kit. Also on are a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen (landscape or portrait, not angle), auto air con and an NFC key card (wave at wing mirrors).

By the way, if you’re wondering about the Atto 3’s size, it’s larger than a Proton X50. From its highly sculpted muscly dashboard to the twist door handles and “guitar strings” door pockets – the Atto 3 has a certain wow factor. The car has a V2L function to power other devices.
