Chery Malaysia has issued a correction to the Oct 2024 vehicle registration data recently published by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) through the government’s open data system. The discrepancies highlighted pertain to several Chery models, as detailed below.
The breakdown of errors are:
Tiggo 8 Pro
Omoda E5 (EV)
Tiggo 7 Pro
Chery Malaysia emphasised the importance of accurate data reporting, as it directly impacts public perception and decision-making in the automotive market. “As we continue to establish ourselves in Malaysia, it’s critical that our performance is reflected correctly.
The corrected figures highlight a growing interest in Chery’s models, particularly the Tiggo 7 Pro, which has become a key product in the competitive mid-size SUV segment.
Additionally, Chery Malaysia will continue to expand its offerings in Malaysia which will include new energy vehicle (NEV) offerings like the OMODA E5 in a bid to support Malaysia’s transition towards sustainable mobility.
Chery will be further expanding its NEV offering in 2025 with the addition of hybrid and PHEV offerings heeding the call from Deputy MITI Minister, YB Liew Chin Tong who hope electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) will form the backbone of the national automotive fleet.
Based on Carz.com.my findings, this is not the first time JPJ had made an error in data entry where when launched the Ora Good Cat was keyed in under the Buick brand instead of GWM/Ora. Lets just hope JPJ bucks up on its data entry as such mistakes especially in major public data announcements could seriously affect public perspective on a brand or product.
