Kuala Lumpur, 25 April 2025 – It was a Friday afternoon filled with excitement as the Auto Academic Tour 2025, organised by Motonation and co-organised by IMechE, took place at University Malaya from 2PM to 6PM.
The event welcomed five leading industry vendors — Mr Absorber, Launch, Action Group, Idemitsu, and Vstar Tektino — who came ready to inspire the next generation of automotive talents. Their participation was more than just about showcasing products; it was about sparking meaningful conversations between students and the real-world experts of the automotive sector.
The main objectives of the tour were clear:
- Connect students with the industry — ensuring they are not only academically prepared but industry-ready.
- Nurture the next generation — today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders and innovators.
- Bridge academic knowledge with real-world practice — highlighting that what is learned in the classroom often differs from industry realities.
- Empower and inspire students — with feedback showing that the sharing sessions were highly beneficial and eye-opening.
Throughout the afternoon, students actively engaged with the vendors, asking insightful questions, exchanging ideas, and absorbing valuable industry knowledge. Many students shared that the sharing sessions were very helpful, giving them a clearer vision of what lies ahead in their careers.
To add more excitement to the event, a lucky draw was held, offering a wide range of prizes that made the event even more memorable. The atmosphere throughout the tour was filled with energy, curiosity, and a strong sense of ambition.
The Auto Academic Tour 2025 was not just an event; it was a vital platform that connected academic learning with industry experience, preparing students for a future filled with opportunities and innovation.
