Mercedes-Benz has launched its new Regional Logistics Centre Malaysia (RLCM) in Senai Airport City, Johor. Operated by Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics Asia Pacific (MBPLAP), the RLCM enhances after-sales service efficiency across 20 Asia-Pacific countries, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to making Malaysia a strategic logistics hub.
“Mercedes-Benz’s RLCM in Johor marks a significant milestone in our state’s economic development, (strengthening) Johor’s role as a key logistics hub in Southeast Asia, (fostering) talent development and (providing) valuable career opportunities for our people,” said Johor chief minister Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
“The inauguration of Mercedes-Benz’s (RLCM) marks a significant achievement that contributes to the country’s aim of becoming a Global Services Hub by 2025 as outlined in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP). (It) not only attracts top-tier investments but also creates avenues for high-skilled employment among Malaysians,” said Malaysian Investment Development Authority CEO Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid.
With a paid-up capital of RM189 million, Mercedes-Benz plans to increase its value-chain investment up to RM1.5 billion by 2035. This ongoing commitment will drive the facility’s growth through phases, enabling the brand to support future business expansion and significantly boost logistics capacity.
“Our investment in Malaysia underscores our commitment to exceptional customer care throughout the Asia Pacific Region and highlights Malaysia’s strategic significance as a logistics hub. The new (RLCM) is one of Mercedes-Benz’s most important logistics projects in the past decade, reaffirming our dedication to Malaysia’s economic growth and sustainability,” said MBPLAP CEO Jan Fischer.
The over-a-million-square-feet RLCM regionally distributes spare parts, accessories, workshop tools and such for both Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars and Vans. It’s state of the art – there’s an in-house warehouse management system, autonomous forklifts, cleaning robots, handheld scanners, mobile workstations and a space-optimising Very Narrow Aisle system.
In the future there could be automated storage systems, drones and dimensional scanners to further boost automation, and in order to support Mercedes-Benz’s global goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2039, the facility will generate renewable energy through an on-site photovoltaic system and target to earn Green Building Index (GBI) certification.
Complying with the brand’s environmental policies, the RLCM closely monitors energy consumption and implements countermeasures as needed, besides collecting and reporting environmental data including waste and water metrics. ISO 9001 for Quality Management and ISO 14001 for Environmental Management are also met.

Say no to kereta yahudi
Haha and say yes to kereta CCP? I think you need to look into MY history, the PKM part. History tends to repeat.
I’m not trying to bash anyone, but so-called luxury vehicles seem to be fading, no matter what they do to compete with those coming out of China. Eventually, they’ll just offer overpriced “luxury” features inside and out, with no real justification, especially when it comes to lasting quality.
Having experienced the EQA, EQB, and EQC, I can confidently say the powertrains are no different from mid- to high-range Chinese EVs, aside from the badge. Good luck trying to survive in this industry before ending up in the same fate as Nokia.
