TTM spends about RM100 million annually with Malaysian suppliers
The terminal tractor manufacturer has exported more than 8,000 Malaysia-built vehicles to customers in over 50 countries as of end-June 2026.
Terberg Tractors Malaysia (TTM) said its annual purchases from over 200 local suppliers amount to about RM100 million, accounting for roughly half of its spending on materials as it meets demand for terminal tractors.
Malaysian suppliers provide components including engines and transmissions, the company said in a statement. It is also helping local suppliers develop capabilities for cabin and chassis production within Terberg's global supply chain.
TTM is a 50:50 joint venture linking Sime Darby Industrial Sdn Bhd with Royal Terberg Group BV, based in the Netherlands. The company said it had shipped more than 8,000 terminal tractors manufactured in Malaysia to over 50 countries as of end-June 2026, serving customers across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
Its factory in Pasir Gudang, Johor, has capacity to produce 1,000 units annually and employs more than 300 Malaysians, who make up the entire workforce. As Terberg's regional centre for Asia Pacific, the facility covers production, assembly, supply chain operations, distribution, product support and R&D.
The company said it has invested over RM12 million since 2024 to upgrade the site, adding a blasting and painting shop, expanding warehouse space and installing laser equipment. An automated assembly line accommodates diesel and electric tractors.
TTM introduced its battery-powered YT200EV in 2022, followed by the YT201EV in May 2026, and reported global sales of over 300 electric units to date. Its Terberg Connect telematics system is installed on 7,000 units worldwide, while work with partners on autonomous terminal tractors is continuing.
