JAECOO partners POWERMAN Malaysia for the first time

JAECOO Malaysia has not started selling its SUVs yet but it certainly involved in a lot of activities which undoubtedly help create awareness of the new brand. Besides having a presence at the recent Malaysia Autoshow 2024, the company which represents the brand from China was the presenting partner of the POWERMAN Malaysia 2024 held in Putrajaya.

The participants, made up of 30 nationalities, competed on the streets of Putrajaya in the gruelling run-bike-run format with multiple distance categories. These included a Classic distance (10 km run, 60 km bike and 10 km run) and a Short distance category (5 km run, 30 km bike and 5 km run), as well as 3 POWERKIDS categories for the youngsters (aged 6 to 15).
