Malaysia has one of Southeast Asia's most developed automotive industries, characterised by two national car manufacturers, international brand assemblers and distributors, and a large components and parts supply chain. The automotive sector employs engineers, sales professionals, mechanics and technicians, supply chain specialists, and corporate support teams across manufacturing and dealership networks.
Proton Holdings — now majority-owned by Geely — and Perodua are the national car manufacturers, together accounting for over 60% of annual vehicle sales. International brands assembled or distributed in Malaysia include Toyota (UMW Toyota), Honda, Volkswagen (Bermaz Auto), BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo.
The sector is transforming driven by the National Automotive Policy 2020 and the push towards electric vehicles. Proton's EV joint ventures (eMAS), Perodua's EV roadmap, and Chinese brands (Chery, BYD, GAC) entering the Malaysian market are reshaping skills requirements towards EV engineering, charging infrastructure, and battery technology.
Demand is growing for EV engineers (battery, powertrain, charging), automotive software engineers, quality engineers, after-sales service technicians, and automotive sales consultants. Traditional manufacturing engineering and production management roles remain in consistent demand at Proton and Perodua plants.
Automotive technicians earn RM 2,000 – RM 4,000/month. Sales consultants earn base plus commission averaging RM 4,000 – RM 8,000/month for experienced performers. Engineers at manufacturers earn RM 3,500 – RM 9,000/month. Dealership managers earn RM 8,000 – RM 18,000/month.
