Sometime last year Perodua revealed plans to manufacture E-AT automatic transmissions in Malaysia. Now Daihatsu Motor Co Ltd has released more details on the timeline and structure of the new company that will undertake the E-AT automatic transmission manufacturing in Malaysia.
The new company Akashi-Kikai Malaysia Sdn Bhd will operate it’s 13,000 square metre plant on a 113,000 square metre plot of land in the Sendayan Industrial Park in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.
The plant is expected to be ready in November 2013 and will have a production capacity of 150,000 units a year. The stakeholders will put in RM100 million as capital, and the new company is expected to employ approximately 120 people.
Perodua will own approximately 10% of Akashi-Kikai Malaysia, while Daihatsu Motor Co will hold 39% and Akashi-Kikai Industry Co Ltd of Japan holds a 51% majority. Akashi-Kikai Industry Co Ltd is a subsidiary of Daihatsu and currently makes automatic and CVT transmissions for Daihatsu.
waiting for proton basher to come in and say that proton already uses cvt eventhough some of it fails for such a new car..

And what is this news got to do with Proton? Focus please.
If u’re the owner of perodua car, be proud with your decision. Statement like this only shows that u’re getting envy on the progress of other make.
Then?is it p2 never have problem with their car?so like to con damn ma. Please. .Accept the reality.p2 are still left behind than proton and europe car.
i put the link earlier so that proton basher has nothing to say about the cvt that proton uses..as they always say that p2 got no cvt but p1 has..so there the link i put for the cvt that proton uses..
Basher or supporter? *facepalm*
1st batch Saga FLX got a recall, those guys in those links must’ve missed it or wrote before the recall. Problem solved after recall and Saga FLX thereafter don’t have that problem.
So I guess soon we will see Perodua cars using CVT ? With the cars being very fuel efficient, I guess with CVT. It would be more fuel efficient
The engine, still has a long way to go before you can call it, efficient.
u should say that to campro engine..
Why campro?i used persona with campro.still can buy petrol and go to kelantan from johor.and the fuel cost is less than 80 ringgit per trip..
lol..on hway of course ler. even expert p1 fan boy knows that campro urban fc is not so good.
even vios and h.city also urban bad fc…just read it in their forums..in the end, it boils down to how your driving style is..
sorry bro..johor to kelantan no hgway..yess..actually fc is depending on your driving style..
if no highway doesnt mean u drive at 40-60kmh and then stops repeatedly many times like in the city..most of the trunk roads can be driven at least 90kmh safely..
Akashi kikai supplies CVT transmission to daihatsu. But in this case, it was clearly stated that they are going to produce E-AT (conventional auto gearbox). By the time they start supplying, i guess E-AT is almost obsolete in most parts of the world. Malaysia is the best place to dump obsolete technologies
My take on this is that it is not as bad as it sounds.
Sure, high tech transmission sounds more appealing. But with the world economy is as it is — west europe & USA are doing very well economically — demands are only growing in the developing countries. Mitsubishi is winding down their european business — demand is low, competition is fierce? — while Great Wall is opening new plant, not in West Europe, but in Bulagria.
In these emerging markets — east europe, south asia, south east asia, latin america, africa — demands are for cheap and cheerful cars. You don’t need high tech there. What you need is cheap and reliable.
In medium term, the plant is going to do well — lots of potential exports. In long term — more than 10 years? — who knows?
:mrgreen:
Hi, it depends on which type of E-AT. Mazda 6 speed is an E-AT, but with enhanced sensors and controls. Even Ford with dual clutch, will be going back to a 8 speed E-AT due to the recent advancement in sensors and controls in transmission area. The newest revision is to be said to match the fuel efficiency of the dual clutch and also maintain the old good attributes (crawling) of the old AT. The main reason of the switchback would be the caused of cost of production and maintenance.
3-speed auto and 4-speed auto only for malaysian truly auto car lover. LOL
in b4 daihatsu scrap perodua e-AT transmission
Proton already use cvt. .Then p2 also want it.why?because p2 is still p2.waiting for upcoming p3-21a. .great car
the new myvi was supposely to be paired with a cvt even b4 p1 has cvt, but just that someone didn’t want it to happen.
That’s why p2 is still p2.cannot make some decisions.just only copy,cut and paste.dont forget,half cut. .their trademark.
dont bash la. remember inspira. p1 or p2..both the same. the purpose is to sell cars based on ppl need and budget. yeah..p2 should have better auto tranny to pair with their good engine. current auto tranny is too slow compared to p1 tranny.
I use persona. .And my wife uses lagi best.then, i think that p1 have to improve the quality control and p2 have to make their own car.that is the fact.then everyone can give a balance criticism to both manufctrers.
p2 should make their own car..but using others tech can gives them more profits. furthermore p2 is under toyota..how come toyota will let them produce their own car. i always look fwd to drive a p1 car..but never want own them.
Will this make the car cheaper or make Perodua richer?
will p2 come out with 6 speed auto gearbox? incorporate cvt? that would be improvement on the current models, n further enhance FC. better if upgrade models or new launches by this 24 months to stay in the leading market share. nice to incorporate gate type gear shift too. do some studies n research… but dun take too long
Then P2 should consider installing 5 speed AT or CVT in Alza & Myvi?
protong supporter always bash p2 and other car if their car have many variant such as SE or facelifted version..but are they blind or just too dumb to admit that protong is also like that…saga fl,saga se..wira se and wht ever it call…only protong supporter tht keep barking to other car but they??
P1 and P2 should collaborate. P2 quality is better, please transfer to P1. P1 capability to design and manufacture own car, please transfer to P2. Get to think of it, why not DRB-HICOM buys PERODUA stakes and becomes the No.1 car manufacturer and assembler in Malaysia and fight with others such as ASTRA in Indonesia. We should help each other. We need each other. Our people depends on us to survive and be better than European cars. Through all the egos aside for once and see our future. Even our vendors are hungry to improve with better quality, lower cost and efficient productivity.
And all the Daihatsu/ Akashi-Kikai used machine in Japan being sold to P2 to produce the not so new eAT at Seremban?
well, malaysia is the dumpsite for the Japanese if it is…
from 2nd vehicle to 2nd hand machines and equipment…
Seriously, Protongkat must offer LifeTime warranty not only to its CVT gearbox but entire car also…
Yes ENTIRE car must be get warranty lifetime plus lifetime free labour/parts too…
Protongkat LifeTime Warranty whole car plus FREE LifeTime Labour/Parts…problem solved…
Protongkat LifeTime Warranty whole car plus FREE LifeTime Labour/Parts…problem solved…
Protongkat LifeTime Warranty whole car plus FREE LifeTime Labour/Parts…problem solved…

hater to the max…
you must be feeling like in heaven by keep posting proton bashing eh?
and you wish that, by condemning proton today, you gonna get cheaper car tomorrow aite?
financial system, price structure will take years to be reformed… maybe you already long gone before you get the chance to have it…
its not got a cheaper car la autojohndoe.. its about quality, safety and people life on jeoperdy.. we are not condemn proton easily if proton got quality car like perodua.. unless u are butthurt because u r proton supporter or proton salesmen
Jgn pandai cakap aje… Lets thinks further… warranty involve money… And frankly speaking, malaysian drivers are very EGO… Kadang-kadang salah sendiri pun mintak warranty. Contoh, tak service ikut schedule, minyak kering, air kering, rosak mintak warranty… tipu lagi ada… Semua salah manufacturer… Bayar tak nak.. semua nak free… Ada yang lagi kurang cerdik, tayar pecah sbb kena besi pun mintak ganti. Dont laugh.. it is true and I have faced it before. The mentality of malaysian drivers. Then comment banyak national car… Macamlah kereta import tu tak ada problems. Helooo…. Toyota pun ada recall activities, BMW, Honda you name it.. So look ourself, if only we can afford ntional car… accept the fact. Jgn compare kereta mahal-mahal tapi pakai kereta proton/perodua… pas tu complaint macam2. Very GOOD quality come with big RINGGIT. But still quality cannot be compromise. Surely must be comparable..
bro ajaw,enjin mati tiba2 tuh mgkin sbb kpl bateri xkemas pasang,itu ksalahn sales advisor yg spttnya check btl2. Aduan saga blm tuh org yg sama. Lampu cvt menyala,itu kena pastikan samasda lampu cvt@lampu check engine yg nyala lampu cvt kat gear lever,lampu engine kat panel meter,kdg2 org kita cnfius. Klu lampu check engine nyala tiba2 n ilang,mgkin coz kpl bateri xkemas ikat. Klu terus menyala, itu masalah engine,bleh di check dgn alat padt tgk kat mana prob. Mcm kes persona, ecu update utk bug fixes.
Cume stuju cara prtn sc handle kes nih xprofesional.
