Weststar Malaysia Ambil Alih Pembuat Van British



2009


KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Mei -- Weststar Group, syarikat pengimport kenderaan Malaysia, memuktamadkan perjanjian untuk membeli LDV, syarikat pembuat van British yang berpangkalan di Birmingham, yang dikuasai GAZ milik rakyat Rusia Oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Weststar Datuk Seri Syed Azman Syed Ibrahim dalam satu kenyataan kepada Bernama dari London hari ini, berkata pinjaman penyambung empat minggu bejumlah 5 juta pound disediakan oleh kerajaan British bagi memastikan LDV diapungkan sehingga Weststar menyelesaian perjanjian itu.

LDV Group Ltd., sebelum ini yang merupakan sebahagian daripada British Leyland, diperbadankan pada 1993 dan ia merupakan syarikat pengilangan van komersil bersepadu yang terletak di Birmingham, England.

Perolehan bagi tahun berakhir 31 Disember 2007 ialah sebanyak 146.8 juta pound (RM1.1 bilion).

Van Maxus LDV dilancarkan pada 2005 dan sejak itu mendapat banyak pujian dan anugerah.

Syed Azman berkata bersama Microvett of Italy, LDV membangunkan van elektrik dengan pelepasan sifar, diterima baik oleh Sainsbury, pengguna berprofil tinggi.

Beliau berkata kenderaan itu sudah sedia untuk siri pengeluaran. LDV sudah disenarai pendek untuk Program Pemerolehan Kenderaan Awam Berkarbon Rendah, yang jika berjaya di peringkat awal, akan digunakan oleh pelbagai organisasi sektor awam.

Weststar menjangkakan pelaburan ebsar diperlukan bagi mengeksploitasikan sepenuhnya peluang-peluang yang besar untuk van-van berat Eropah di seluruh dunia.

"Potensi pasarannya terbukti di Malaysia berdasarkan penggunaannya sebagai ambulans dan bas mini dalam tempoh beberapa tahun sahaja selepas diperkenalkan," katanya.

Di Malaysia, van LDV Maxus dibangunkan di kemudahan DRB Hicom di Pekan Pahang.

Syed Azman berkata produk itu layak mendapat status AFTA, dan sedang diusahakan untuk pengesahan secara progresif di negara Asia Tenggara dan Arab Saudi.

Weststar sudah mula mengeksport van LDV ke Brunei dan Thailand, dan bercadang memasarkan produk ini secara agresif di peringkat antarabangsa, katanya.

Menurutnya pada 4 Mei, GAZ Group of the Russian Federation menawarkan Weststar Group peluang untuk membeli keseluruhan pemeganan dalam LDV Group dan syarikat sekutunya, Birmingham Pressings Ltd, yang membekalkan komponen logam untuk produk berkenaan.

" Peluang pelaburan ini muncul akibat krisis ekonomi di Rusia, dan jatuh ke pangkuan pemilikan Malaysia, produk kelas pertama serta akses ke pasaran Eropah dan teknologi pada kos yang mampu dimiliki," kata Syed Azman.

Untuk rancangan masa depan, Weststar mahu menggunakan sepenuhnya kemudahan Birmingham, pada standard tertinggi kecekapan tenaga pekerja dalam industri.

Beliau berkata kemudahan itu yang akan memberi perkhidmatan untuk pasaran UK dan Eropah, rangkaian pengedaran dan kilang, akan menawarkan produk dan pengalaman yang setanding dan terbaik.

Kemudahan di UK itu berpotensi meneroka 2.5 bilion pound insentif kewangan yang dijanjikan oleh Kerajaan British menerusi Program Bantuan Automotif, dan Kemudahan Pengangkutan Bersih Eropah, European Investment Bank yang memberi pinjaman minimum kira-kira 50 juta pound sehingga maksimum 400 juta pound untuk projek karbon rendah.

Sementara itu, untuk menjadikan produk LDV mampu dimiliki di negara membangun, Weststar akan meluaskan skop pengilangannya di Malaysia dan pusat pengilangan berkos rendah lain di blok dagangan serantau.

" Birmingham akan terus menjadi pusat kecemerlangan kejuruteraan dengan reka bentuk produk dengan penghasilan karbon rendah dan peralihan SVO standarad OEM (pengilangan barangan tulen), dan beroperasi bersama kilangnya di Malaysia.

Jika pelaksaaan berjaya, strategi mewujudkan pekerjaan dan nilai di UK dan Malaysia akan meningkat dengan ketara, " kata Azman.

Indian Rotorcraft breaks ground on Hyderabad facility


By : Siva Govindasamy Singapore


Indian Rotorcraft, a joint venture between AgustaWestland and Tata Sons, has broken ground on a new helicopter manufacturing facility next to Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International airport, where the companies will assemble, customise and flight-test helicopters, starting with the eight-seat AW119KE light helicopter from mid-2013.

" The project is integral to our plans in the aerospace sector and we look forward to an enduring and successful partnership with AgustaWestland, " says Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Sons.

Bruno Spagnolini, chief executive of AgustaWestland, says the facility will not only build helicopters for the Indian market, but also supply them to AgustaWestland's customers worldwide.


" Indian Rotorcraft will initially create jobs for more than 70 highly-skilled staff who will be trained by AgustaWestland. We see great potential to expand this facility in the future to become a support and production centre for other helicopter types, " Spagnolini adds.

The facility is being built on a 40,000m2 (430,500ft2) site in Hyderabad, where the Andhra Pradesh state government is keen to attract more aerospace businesses. Indian Rotorcraft's operation will include a 9,000m² building incorporating a main assembly facility, flight hangar, offices and several helicopter landing pads. It will have capacity to produce up to 30 helicopters a year and is designed to be further developed for other helicopter types, right up to the 16t AW101, say the companies.

India is viewed by helicopter manufacturers as one of the biggest potential growth markets in the next few years. AgustaWestland says it has sold nearly 50 commercial helicopters in the country during the past six years for missions including VIP and corporate transport, offshore oil and gas support, and general charter operations.

The joint venture is another step by Tata, India's largest and most well-known business group, to move into aerospace.

A separate joint venture between Tata and Sikorsky produces cabins for the S-92 helicopter in Hyderabad. There are also plans to manufacture up to 80% of the S-92 at the facility. The joint venture also manufactures components for various other military and commercial aircraft.
