The transport equipment cluster has attracted more than RM 34.2 billion of investment into Selangor for the past three decades, supporting over 83,227 jobs. Assisted by the influx of both domestic and foreign direct investment, transport equipment accounts for approximately 13% of the state’s total manufacturing output.

Reflecting the significance of Selangor’s transport equipment cluster, Malaysia’s overall ambition as a major aerospace hub in the ASEAN region has started as early as the 1990s when the National Aerospace Blueprint was formulated. Being strategically located in the centre of Malaysia, Selangor is the country’s main port of entry and has two major airports. Over the years, Selangor has benefited from various strategic national programs, such as transforming Subang International Airport into a regional MRO hub and intensifying aerospace Research & Technology activities via the establishment of Aerospace Malaysia Innovation Centre etc. These initiatives, together with long-term commitment and support from the state government, have ultimately made Selangor more attractive, where transport equipment manufacturers are able to thrive.
