In
2011 and 2012, AVIVA was approved by Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam

Co-operatives and Consumerism, Malaysia) for QBC to use the "Made

manufactured by QBC.
AVIVA
is also a registered supplier on Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia’s
(Ministry of Finance, Malaysia) panel of suppliers.
It
started its operations in 2003 in a purpose built production facility
in Shah Alam with a production capacity of about 100 buses and bus
chassis.
AVIVA
builds bus bodies on a range of customer supplied chassis e.g.
Scania, MAN, Mercedes, Hino, Nissan, Isuzu and others.
Apart
from that, AVIVA has its own bus chassis with either steel or
aluminum body, with a brand name of AUTOBUS, wholly manufactured in our factory in Shah Alam.
Our
bus range includes Midi bus, School / Charter bus, Low Floor and
Standard City bus, High Decker/Double Decker to suit different
customer requirements from school, mining, route and charter
operations which includes options to cater to disabled passenger
accessibility.
In
Malaysia, the JPJ follows standards under Road Transport Act 1987 and
Road Transport Rules which has already implemented 54 UN
/ ECE regulations which are
currently being reviewed and upgraded to WP29with includes the Vehicle
Type Approval (VTA) with 24 newUN/ECE Regulations
has been effective 1stJanuary 2015. However AVIVA builds buses, coaches and chassis based
on the Australian Design Regulations
(ADR) for the Australian and export
market complying to all the standards and regulations enforced by JPJ
for the local market. The ADR is a higher standard than the UN / ECE
standards enforced in Malaysia.
VTA is a homologation process to confirm the production sample of a vehicle design to comply with specified standards / regulations before a vehicle registration is allowed in Malaysia.
Vehicle Type Approval = Component Type Approval + General Requirements
