Inokom has achieved a major milestone with the successful local assembly of the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport at the Inokom assembly facility in Kulim, Kedah. More than a model introduction, this marks a historic moment as the first fully‑electric BMW model to be assembled in the Asia Pacific region.

This accomplishment reflects our growing capabilities in advanced electric vehicle (EV) production—supported by modular manufacturing operations, cutting‑edge facilities, and world‑class assembly standards. It reinforces our commitment to driving forward the future of mobility through innovation, quality, and technical excellence.

Beyond strengthening our own EV expertise, the local assembly of the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport contributes directly to Malaysia’s broader EV ecosystem development. By enhancing local competencies and expanding high‑value manufacturing skills, we continue to be strategic assembly partner for the EV industry across Asia Pacific.
 

We remain dedicated to building the capabilities required to support the next phase of regional mobility transformation—advancing technology, enabling industry growth, and accelerating the shift toward a more sustainable automotive future.
