NILAI: UD Trucks and sole distributor partner Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd (TCIE) recently opened a new 3S (sales, service and spare parts) dealership in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.
The 3S centre was set up via a collaboration with new private dealer Soon Seng Automobile Sdn Bhd.
The 3S centre, located at Lot 109 on Jalan Platinum 5/5 in Pusat Perdagangan Nilai Impian, will provide a range of sales, services and parts support capabilities for UD Trucks’ growing customer base in the area.
UD Trucks region director for Southeast Asia and East Asia Keiichiro Ochiai said, “We are proud to welcome Soon Seng Automobile into our growing dealership network. The opening of this new 3S centre reflects UD Trucks’ continuous mission to provide high-quality, innovative commercial vehicles that fleet operators and businesses demand today.”

Soon Seng Automobile director Edmund Chan said, “Soon Seng Automobile was established in 1978 and for nearly 50 years, we have been dedicated to serving the Malaysian transport industry. This new dealership marks another new and significant chapter in our company’s journey.”
The new 3S centre offers UD Trucks’ full range of commercial vehicles, from the light-duty Kuzer, medium-duty Croner to the heavy-duty Quester.
The facility has four service bays that can cater for truck maintenance and repair, special technical diagnosis tools, and a full inventory of UD Trucks genuine parts.
In conjunction with the opening, a vehicle handover ceremony was held for two customers.

Logisteed Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a total logistics services provider and an existing UD Trucks customer, received three UD Quester trucks.
Meanwhile, LLC Infra Sdn Bhd, an engineering and construction development company and a new UD Trucks customer, took delivery of two UD Croner trucks.
TCIE chief operating officer Loh Thim Choy said, “TCIE is glad to have Soon Seng Automobile as the partner of choice in our quest to further expand our UD Trucks’ dealer network. Being close to our customers is very important and the industrial area of Nilai is efficiently supported by excellent highway connectivity and surrounding commercial developments."
Loh added that customers will not only have better access to experience UD Trucks’ products first-hand, but can also gain more value for their business through the comprehensive UD Extra Mile Services consisting of genuine parts, service agreements and 24/7 Roadside Assistance for sustained uptime.
