【CNMO Tech News】On June 24, XPeng Motors' official Weibo account announced that its EPMB factory located in Malacca, Malaysia officially started production, the first batch of XPeng G6 models officially assembled and rolled off the line. This factory is XPeng's third localized production base globally, and the current phase has entered the production ramp-up stage.
It is reported that this factory is the result of deep cooperation between XPeng Motors and Malaysian listed company EP Manufacturing Bhd (EPMB). Both parties officially signed a cooperation agreement in December 2025, with a wholly-owned subsidiary under EPMB responsible for assembling vehicles for XPeng. The factory is located in Malacca, positioned as a core manufacturing and supply hub serving the entire ASEAN right-hand drive market. According to the plan, by mid-2026, this factory will form a "localized closed-loop" supply network facing the Southeast Asian right-hand drive market with the Indonesia production base, covering major markets such as Thailand and Singapore.
Noteworthy is that XPeng adopted an asset-light production model in Malaysia, conducting localized assembly through EPMB's existing production lines, avoiding significant upfront capital expenditure, and able to respond more flexibly to the complex and changing global market environment. XPeng's long-term goal is to achieve overseas sales accounting for 50% of total sales within the next ten years. Company management estimates that starting from Q2 2026, contribution from international business revenue will exceed 20%.
The launch of the Malaysia factory is built on XPeng's solid achievements in the local market. From January to October 2025, XPeng successfully entered the top six ranks of pure electric vehicle brand sales in Malaysia. Among them, XPeng X9 won the championship for sales of high-end electric MPVs in Malaysia in September 2025.
