Roslan Abdullah Leads GWM Malaysia: What's Next for Bikes?

Big news in the Malaysian auto industry! Roslan Abdullah, fresh from his role as Deputy CEO at Proton, has been appointed as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Great Wall Motor (GWM) Malaysia. This is a significant move, especially considering GWM's increasing focus on the Malaysian market, and we're keen to see what it means for the motorcycle scene.

Roslan's got a solid track record. He joined Proton in June 2020, heading sales and marketing before becoming Deputy CEO in January 2022. Before Proton, he spent time as a General Manager at DRB-Hicom. Most notably, he was previously President and COO at Honda Malaysia from 2012 to 2019, giving him extensive experience across finance, operations, and sales within the automotive sector.

GWM's Motorcycle Ambitions?

While GWM is primarily known for its cars and SUVs (like the Haval and Ora brands), the appointment of a seasoned industry player like Roslan suggests they're serious about expanding their presence in Malaysia. Could this include venturing into the motorcycle market? It's definitely something to keep an eye on!

What This Means for Malaysian Bikers

Roslan's experience at Honda Malaysia, a brand deeply ingrained in the Malaysian motorcycle culture, gives him unique insights into our market. Will GWM introduce new and exciting motorcycle models to compete with the existing players? Only time will tell.

We'll be following this story closely, so stay tuned for more updates on GWM Malaysia's future plans and any potential motorcycle developments.
