Demak To Roll Out Four New Models Yearly

Demak, the Malaysian brand motorcycle, will roll out up to four new models in the scooter and motorcycle range, with 150cc engine capacity and below, into the market every year from next year.

Demak manufacturer, DNC Asiatic Holdings Sdn Bhd (DNC), executive director Hu Ying said Demak planned to introduce new models which offer low fuel consumption and higher value for money in the wake of rapid rising oil prices.

"There is increasing awareness on fuel-efficient scooters and motorcycles. We will launch new models with 150 engine capacity and below at a pace of three to four models every year for both 2009 and 2010 onwards.

"The new models include two moped or cub models, one scooter model and one sporty model starting next year. Normally, we will launch new models in the first quarter," she told Bernama in an interview.

With the soaring global oil prices, Hu said Demak, a joint-venture company with Malaysian and Chinese interests, had recorded sales increase of up to 30 percent due to a surge in demand for motorcycles.

"The sales are up as fuel prices go up. The main reason is fuel efficiency. In view of uncertainties in global oil prices, we are projecting 60,000 units for next year, including for both local and export sales," she said.
