“Naza targets to sell 2,800 units of various Peugeots and has to-date sold 2,200 units, mainly from the new ranges that include the 206, 308, 407 and 207 models,” said group executive chairman and chief executive officer S.M. Nasarudin S.M. Nasimuddin.

He said this when officiating the group’s third one-stop service centre worth RM500,000 in Auto City in Juru yesterday. Also present was Automobiles Peugeot Asean Regional Office general-director Dominique Dourouze.

The centre is owned by Nasim Sdn Bhd, a member of the Naza Group, which is the local distributor of Peugeot cars.

The facility will service Peugeot cars in the northern region. Naza’s two other similar centres are located in Shah Alam and Johor Baru.

Nasarudin said the group planned to open its fourth centre in Kuching soon.

Meanwhile, he said, the group had exported its first batch of 30 Peugeot 308 cars to Thailand last month. Prior to this, Naza had exported 100 units of the 206 and 207 models to that country.
