The centralised warehouse facility supports after-sales operations and strengthens network readiness for the new full-electric off-road SUV brand in Malaysia.

Prioritising readiness, iCAUR Malaysia continues to steadily build its supply chain competencies and parts inventory since the facility began operations in March, well in advance of the iCAUR 03 launch which is slated for the third quarter of 2025. iCAUR Malaysia vice president Emily Lek said the centrally located Chery Corporate Malaysia warehouse is pivotal in supporting iCAUR's growing dealership network. The network will soon include no fewer than 16 dealer partners nationwide, with further expansions planned in 2026. "The spirit of iCAUR's 'Born to Play' philosophy means we are also born ready.
