Big news for the Malaysian motorcycle market, as KMSB Motors has recently signed a partnership with Suzuki Motor Corporation Japan and launched a new brand called Afaz. As you’re probably aware, nearly all countries in Asia are dependent on motorcycles for the mobility of their citizenry. Needless to say, launching a local motorcycle brand not only makes two-wheelers more accessible, but also provides the economy with a much-needed boost.
Afaz is foreseen to greatly contribute to the local manufacturing expertise of Malaysia, while at the same time providing numerous employment opportunities in the country. Malaysia’s motorcycle market continues to grow, particularly in the manufacturing sector. For reference, in 2022, the country had a market size of 718,000 motorcycles. With the help of Suzuki, crucial components when it comes to the manufacturing of new two-wheelers will be supplied to Afaz.
