Key functional components such as engine parts, steering, brakes, and electrical systems are primarily supplied by major Japanese suppliers. Meanwhile, sourcing from multinational suppliers is also evident, such as PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk (Giti) for tires, Thai Summit Group for seat frames, and Sungwoo Hitech for seat belts.
