Modenas (DRB-HICOM; with early technical links to Kawasaki)
Best Known For:
Malaysia’s national motorcycles and scooters; reliable commuters and Kawasaki-linked models
Company History
Established to develop domestic two-wheel manufacturing, Modenas localized dependable commuters and scooters tailored to Malaysian roads and licensing. Technical collaboration with Kawasaki seeded engine know-how and quality systems, while nationwide dealer networks ensured spares and service in small towns. The lineup prioritized low running costs, easy maintenance, and practical features like generous storage and robust electrics for tropical weather. Modenas later assembled or co-developed models with modern EFI, ABS/CBS, and improved corrosion resistance, expanding exports to regional markets. Historically, Modenas embodies national industrial policy at its best: building local capability, jobs, and a mobility ecosystem that keeps families and small businesses moving.
