NWP Holdings Bhd, through its whollyowne­d NWP Access Sdn Bhd, targets to open two more 3S (sales, service and spare parts) showrooms for motorcycle­s in Penang and Johor in the next 12 months.

NWP group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Nelson Kee said while still focusing on the Klang Valley area, the company realised the importance of the two states where demand for motorcycle­s was growing.

“For the next 12 months, we are planning to set up two showrooms in these states. Our target market is the Bottom 40 per cent segment, who are mostly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order. We know these people are looking to generate income via alternativ­e jobs such as food delivery partners.

“We will also explore offering a zero downpaymen­t scheme for the credit sale of 10,000 motorcycle­s to individual­s whose financials are affected by the pandemic,” he said after the opening of the showroom, here, yesterday.

Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid officiated at the event.

Kee said the company’s venture into the logistics industry was part of its mission to create new business opportunit­ies in the delivery and motorcycle-related segments for its sustainabi­lity.

As such, NWP will supply motorcycle­s to food and beverage delivery companies, among others.

He said the company had so far sold 15 motorcycle­s worth RM100,000 at the branch, here.

It targeted to secure sales of RM6 million to RM7 million by year end, he added.

In January, NWP announced it was venturing into a motorcycle programme targeting food delivery riders.

The programme, which has not been finalised, includes competitiv­e pricing as well as zero downpaymen­t for applicants who meet the stipulated conditions.
