Porsche and Sime Darby have inaugurated the sports car manufacturer's first assembly facility outside of Europe at Sime Darby's motor vehicle production and assembly facility in Kedah, Malaysia, with the launch of the nation's first locally assembled Porsche Cayenne.
The new assembly site in Malaysia is said to have been designed to meet Malaysia's specific market needs and operates alongside Porsche's established network of production sites in Europe.

It is further supported by a network of local suppliers and contracted service providers in the area, empowering the local community with job opportunities, upskilling prospects, and potential for further expansion.
The facility is also designed to meet high sustainability standard, with enough solar panels on its roof to provide all the power needed for operation, while on the ground, a rainwater harvesting system is present to ensure water waste is kept to a minimum.
