  • KTM halts motorcycle production due to lack of parts

    KTM halts motorcycle production due to lack of parts

    Despite an approved restructuring plan, motorcycle maker has halted production. This is due to a lack of critical parts for its range of motorcycles, reports German portal 1000PS.

    From the report, KTM will only resume production till after July 27. KTM has been unable to source production parts and no orders were placed for new parts during a three month period during its ongoing financial crisis.

    During the first production halt, KTM entered self administration to avoid bankruptcy proceedings, while employees were laid off and some racing activities were stopped. News of the production stoppage came during a video call where KTM CEO Gottfried Neumeister told employees, “due to serious supply chain problems, it is impossible to continue production as planned. Stocks were only sufficient for around 4,200 motorcycles, and now there is a shortage of essential components. Production in Mattighofen will therefore be suspended until 27 July.”

    KTM halts motorcycle production due to lack of parts

    KTM’s attempts to restart production last month were met with caution from some suppliers, with some reported to have halted further production for KTM altogether, as reported by rideapart.com. KTM’s parent company, Pierer Mobility, currently faces a financing shortfall of around six hundred million euros (RM2.95 billion), which comes due in May.

    In the video conference, Neumeister also said, “to avoid terminations, KTM is taking drastic measures. From May 1 to 31, a new company agreement applies from 1 July, which provides for a 30-hour week for around 3,000 employees in Austria. Wages are adjusted accordingly.”

  • GWM Souo S2000 touring bike in Shanghai – first 8-cyl bike, 8-speed DCT, one-off Cloud Lion sold at RM402k!

    GWM Souo S2000 touring bike in Shanghai – first 8-cyl bike, 8-speed DCT, one-off Cloud Lion sold at RM402k!

    Revealed at Auto China in Beijing last year, the Souo S2000 touring motorcycle from GWM is making an appearance at the ongoing Auto Shanghai 2025 show, five months after its November market launch. To mark its first anniversary, the company produced a special one-off called the Cloud Lion, featuring a custom hand-painted finish.

    Measuring a massive 2,660 mm long and weighing a whopping 450 kg, the S2000 (no relation to the iconic Honda roadster) is the world’s first production eight-cylinder motorcycle. As its name suggests, the bike is powered by a 2,000 cc flat-eight that produces 154 PS at 6,500 rpm and 190 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with a reverse gear and a walk assist function.

    The engine is mounted on a one-piece irregular alloy frame, with suspension consisting of three-layer parallel rods at the front and a centrally-mounted damper at the rear, both with adaptive dampers. Also fitted are 18-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels and Brembo brakes with dual 320 mm front discs and a single 295 mm rear disc, along with ABS and traction control.

    The S2000’s distinctive design features a front mask with twin circular headlights (with a follow-me-home function) inspired by a lion dance costume, along with large side vents and large dual tailpipes. The optional lockable rear storage box holds 63 litres and has space for two helmets, and there’s also a storage box on either side of the rear wheel.

    Ahead of the rider sits a one-touch retractable windscreen and a 12.3-inch instrument display that runs on an automotive-grade Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, replete with Bluetooth connectivity, built-in navigation and voice control. It supports over-the-air firmware updates and pipes music through a four-speaker, 360-watt sound system. An electronic parking brake and handlebar and seat heating are also fitted.

    The S2000 usually comes in red, black and white paint options, but one lucky buyer purchased the Cloud Lion one-off at the show yesterday. The special edition was painted by hand with an airbrushed cloud pattern interspersed with gold foil inlays and mother-of-pearl lacquering. The custom paint means the Cloud Lion retailed at an eye-watering 668,800 yuan (RM401,400), more than three times the price of the base S2000 ST (218,800 yuan or RM131,300).

  • 2024 – 2025 Honda ADV160 recall for US market

    2024 – 2025 Honda ADV160 recall for US market

    A US market recall notice has been issued for the 2024 and 2025 model year Honda ADV160 for a manufacturing defect. The recall is for defect in the oil pump driven gear combined with an improper finish on the timing sprocket which could cause abnormal gear wear, leading to engine seizure.

    From the recall notice, this affects approximately 3,316 scooters in the US market. The defect arises from the steel timing gear receiving excessive shot blasting, with the polymer oil pump driven gear deformed due to the cooling process, leading to misaligned gears and eventual engine seizure.

    2024 – 2025 Honda ADV160 recall for US market

    Reports of this defect in other markets, beginning in Thailand and continuing into the US market were received by Honda. As of March 21, Honda says it has received a total of 28 warranty claims in the US related to this issue.

    The recall, at no cost to the owner, will replace the oil pump driven gear with a more durable material, using a different mold structure to ensure its integrity. A check with Boon Siew Honda Malaysia confirms that no Malaysia market Honda ADV160s are affected by this recall notice.

     
     
  • Naza Automotive Group to focus on Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz brands – to drop Maserati and Ducati?

    Naza Automotive Group to focus on Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz brands – to drop Maserati and Ducati?

    Here’s something we weren’t expecting this morning – the Naza Automotive Group has announced a “strategic realignment” of its business as it seeks long-term profitability and liquidity. The company is targeting a “significant uplift” in both over the next three years, and it plans to do so by focusing on its core brands.

    UPDATE: A Naza Italia representative has clarified that both Maserati and Ducati will remain as key parts of the Naza Automotive Group.

    It’s no surprise that Naza is turning to its more mainstream franchises to drive growth. In Suzuki, Naza Eastern Motors (NEM) is already in the midst of expanding its dealer network by more than 100% over the next three years, on top of investing in digital platforms as it shoots for a yearly increase in Suzuki sales.

    Naza also has a lucrative Mercedes-Benz dealership in the shape of NZ Wheels, and to that end the company is planning to revamp its Bangsar showroom with the latest Mercedes-Benz corporate identity. The refreshed facility will open its doors in Q3 this year.

    Naza Automotive Group to focus on Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz brands – to drop Maserati and Ducati?

    This being a “realignment”, one can expect some bad news for Naza’s other brands. The company said as much in its press release, remarking that it wants to “gradually reduce our dependency on lifestyle and niche segments that no longer align with our latest objectives.” And while it was not revealed which brands it plans to cull, the fact that Maserati and Ducati were not mentioned once is telling.

    It’s no big secret that Maserati has not been performing well lately, not just in Malaysia but around the world. Despite a comprehensive remodelling of its lineup – as well as introducing the well-received MC20 – sales have been so dire that rumours have reemerged that Stellantis could very well sell its storied Italian sports car marque, a move hastened by US tariffs.

    Ducati’s situation is far less shaky, thanks to continuing strong sales and profitability. But with Naza needing to invest heavily into Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz to prop up its auto business, it looks like even Borgo Panigale isn’t safe from the chopping block.

    That’s not to say that there’s no room to grow the business. Naza says it is looking for “new brands and opportunities, including electric mobility.” The company also intends to enter a new ASEAN market this year, focusing on the brands it already operates in Malaysia.
