Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors subsidises dealers in hard times

By CARSIFU | 5 May 2020


PETALING JAYA: Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) is offering subsidies for dealers and sales consultants to alleviate their financial hardship.

HSDM will provide a special monthly Hardship Allowance for sales staff from April to June 2020.

This subsidy is only applicable to sales personnel who have worked at least three months, and not for those serving notice. They will receive this subsidy through their dealerships.

Dealers are offered financial subsidies for online marketing expenses and purchase of hand sanitisers, disinfectants and thermometers for use at their sales and service outlets, to reassure the visiting public and to curb the spread of Covid-19.

“The pandemic has badly affected the auto sector. We understand the hardship of our dealers and salespeople, and we hope the subsidy will help ease their financial burden and help with the cost of health and safety measures at all authorised Hyundai sales and service outlets,” said HSDM. managing director Low Yuan Lung,
