TQ Wuling Bingo EV Malaysia CKD Model Officially Rolls Off the Production Line

Segambut Factory Achieves Transition to New Energy Manufacturing

The Result of the Collaboration Between SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) and Tan Chong Group

[PCauto] Recently, the first TQ Wuling Bingo electric vehicle successfully rolled off the production line at the ISO-certified Segambut factory in Malaysia. This comes just one month after the model opened for pre-sale and was launched in the local market last December, marking the official local assembly of the Wuling Bingo in Malaysia and a key milestone in the progress of the collaboration between both parties.

The Segambut factory, which is responsible for producing the CKD model, is a longstanding backbone of Malaysia's automotive manufacturing industry.

According to Tan Chong Group, this factory had already established a deep foundation during the era of fuel vehicles, producing various high-quality models for the local market with its mature manufacturing capabilities and strict quality control systems.

Now, with the rollout of the Wuling Bingo CKD model, this established factory has officially transitioned from solely producing fuel vehicles to manufacturing new energy vehicles, marking an important transformation from traditional manufacturing to new energy production.

After undergoing upgrades, the factory not only retains its core manufacturing strengths but also integrates SAIC-GM-Wuling's advanced new energy vehicle production technologies, realizing a deep fusion of traditional manufacturing expertise and modern electrification technology.

As the first electric vehicle assembled by this factory, the Wuling Bingo itself has core advantages tailored to the local market. In terms of body size, it has a length of 3950mm and a wheelbase of 2560mm, with a flexible body design that can easily cope with Malaysia's congested urban roads. As for the driving range, the Pro version has a range of 333 kilometers, and the Max version has a range of 410 kilometers, meeting daily commuting needs.

The Max version is also equipped with a 50kW DC fast charging function, capable of charging from 30% to 80% in just 35 minutes, providing highly efficient and convenient energy replenishment. In terms of configuration, features such as dual 10.25-inch connected screens and electrically adjustable seats challenge the perception that affordable electric vehicles lack comfort.

The groundwork for this locally assembled launch was laid seven months ago. At that time, TQ Wuling announced its entry into the Malaysian market. The company is a joint venture established by SAIC-GM-Wuling and Tan Chong Group. The rollout of this CKD model marks the substantive implementation of the partnership and signals the brand's official foray into Malaysia's electric vehicle and passenger car market.

The decision to select the Segambut plant as the production base was due to its years of accumulated manufacturing expertise, providing a robust guarantee for the quality of the vehicle models.

Currently, the production line has officially started operations. However, there will still be a period from production to delivery to users.

During this time, the factory will continue to fine-tune the supply chain, and complete the full-process quality inspection to ensure that every vehicle meets Malaysian local production standards.

The official delivery timeline will be announced later by TQ Wuling, and the market is eagerly awaiting further updates.
