Following the establishment of its operations in Kuala Lumpur and the commencement of trial operations, the Penang expansion marks another milestone in the company’s development in the Malaysian market and its broader overseas expansion strategy. The expansion reflects Tuhu Car Care’s efforts to develop a multi-city automotive service network in Malaysia, bringing its integrated online-to-offline service model to more consumers while adapting its operations to local driving conditions and market needs. [[ At the Penang launch, Vincent Chen, Regional Head of Tuhu Car Care Malaysia, said:" Penang represents a strategic step forward in our commitment to serving Malaysian consumers. By expanding beyond Kuala Lumpur, we’re demonstrating our long-term dedication to making quality automotive services accessible across the country. Our focus remains on understanding local driving conditions and delivering transparent, convenient solutions that meet the real needs of Malaysian motorists." With its expansion into Penang, Tuhu Car Care is bringing its online-to-offline automotive service model to local consumers. Consumers can purchase automotive products such as tyres, engine oil and batteries through its online platform and make service appointments before visiting stores for installation, maintenance and other services. The company also provides product authenticity guarantees through direct sourcing from brands. **From Kuala Lumpur to Penang** Tuhu Car Care previously established operations in Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas. During the trial-operation period, the company gained initial market experience through its online appointment system, product selection, transparent pricing and in-store services. Penang provides a significant market for automotive services. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, 92.0% of households in Penang owned a car in 2024, broadly in line with the national figure of 92.3%. Malaysia also recorded 870,300 new registrations of four-wheeled vehicles in 2025, including 759,100 passenger vehicles, according to statistics from the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA). One of Tuhu Car Care’s Penang stores is located near George Town’s historic city centre, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008, bringing the company’s automotive services closer to local residents and areas frequented by visitors. Tuhu Car Care currently operates more than 20 stores in Malaysia. With the simultaneous opening of three stores in Penang, the company has expanded its presence beyond Kuala Lumpur into another major Malaysian city. Looking ahead, Tuhu Car Care will continue to expand its presence across Malaysia and enter additional cities based on local consumers’ driving habits and market demand.
