Malaysia gets Southeast Asia's only AMG One service hub

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has invested RM2.2 million to establish a specialised service hub for the Mercedes-AMG One hypercar, positioning Malaysia as the sole location in Southeast Asia capable of servicing this Formula 1-inspired vehicle. The facility, situated at Hap Seng Star's Bukit Tinggi plant, joins an exclusive global network catering to the road-legal hypercar, with only 275 units produced worldwide.

The hub's resources include specialised high-voltage tools, vehicle-specific diagnostic systems, and controlled storage environments tailored to the hypercar's unique specifications. Its technicians have undergone specialised Mercedes-AMG certification training to perform approved diagnostic, maintenance, and servicing procedures.

The team will also collaborate directly with Mercedes-AMG specialists in Affalterbach, Germany, for technical support. The Mercedes-AMG One, boasting a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engine paired with four electric motors, generates over 1,063 horsepower and benefits from F1-derived hybrid technology, rendering its servicing more intricate than conventional high-performance automobiles.

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia's CEO, Martin Schulz, highlighted that the hub amplifies Malaysia's role in supporting the company's regional operations, while also granting access to Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics Asia Pacific's facilities in Malaysia, which will optimise parts distribution and minimise delays in vehicle maintenance and repairs.

Additional services comprise regional technical assistance, dedicated liaison officers for international clients, and digital systems for diagnostic reporting and service updates. This investment seeks to bolster Malaysia's high-value services sector as outlined in the 13th Malaysia Plan for the years 2026 to 2030. Hap Seng Star, the operator of the Bukit Tinggi facility, will provide servicing for AMG One owners from Malaysia and other regional markets.
