NB Heavy Industries launches new model CAMC H6 heavy duty truck in new milestone
SIBU: NB Heavy Industries Sdn Bhd yesterday launched its new model CAMC H6 Heavy Duty Truck at its premises, Mile 8, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Road here.
Chairman of NB Heavy Industries Sdn Bhd Dato Sri Mohamed Khalid Yusuf, who officiated at the event, said the launching of the new model truck marked another milestone in the company’s efforts in expanding its business and providing customers with new and better range of products of better quality and efficiency offering customers value for their money.
“I have known NB Group of Companies for more than 30 years. To the people of Sibu, NB Group of Companies and its products and services is a local household name that has gone global.
“Many of us are aware that Ngu Brothers Group of Companies started with a humble beginning as an automobile repair business in 1971. It has over the years grown and diversified into other related business covering the supply of imported spare parts and machineries, car sales distributorship, property development, manufacture of rebuilt as well as new commercial vehicles, assembly of motor cycles and vehicles driving schools and I am confident many more will come in future,” he stated.
Like most industries in the country, he said the automobile manufacturing industry was also regulated by the government.
As good corporate citizen, he said NB Group of Companies not only pays tax but is also committed to fully comply with the relevant rules and regulations.
He said it was imperative that the industry get support and cooperation from government officials in the form of trade facilitation to ensure the ease of doing business.
“We hope the government agencies can simplify their procedures and work process. This will help reduce the cost of administrative compliance which also translates into lower operations cost for the Company.
“Lower cost will help company make more profits. Since only profitable companies can afford to pay tax it makes sense that the government gives priority to facilitating business because this way government will earn more revenue from successful businesses making it a win-win strategy,” Mohamed Khalid stated.
On the new model CAMC H6 heavy duty truck, he said it was just one of a number of new generation series of commercial vehicles from China with latest technology being assembled at NB assembly plant.
According to him, China has a long history of good track record in truck manufacturing especially the heavy duty military off-road trucks.
With that track record and experience, the newer model of heavy duty trucks inherited the expertise, technology and experience, he said adding that with continuous improvement being undertaken, the outcome was a more durable, reliable and efficient commercial vehicle.
He hoped that the new truck would receive wide support from their customers given its value for money pricing, the manufacturer’s proven track record of producing quality and durable vehicles and well supported by after sales services which is a well-known trade mark of Ngu Brothers Group of Companies. Earlier in his speech, chief executive officer of NB Group of Companies Johnnie Ngu said NB Group is committed to delivering outstanding quality products continuously to its customers.
“It is an honour to us that we have 3,000 units CAMC trucks running on the Malaysian roads today. CAMC has been no. 1 in the Sarawak market and has received strong support from corporate customers.”
Managing director of Woodman Group of Companies Dato Sri Law Kui Kiong, chairman of Ngu Brothers Group of Companies Dato William Ngu Chu Beng and general manager of CAMC Overseas Ge Xiao Sheng were among those present.
