History of Modenas
Modenas, short for Syarikat Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional (National Motorcycle and Engine Company), is Malaysia’s national motorcycle maker. After the success of carmaker Proton, the government set up a national motorcycle project, and Modenas was formed in 1995. Its main shareholders included Kawasaki, Sojitz, Khazanah Nasional and DRB-HICOM.
The Gurun factory opened on 3 October 1996. The first model, the Kriss 110 launched in 1996, was named after the keris, a traditional Malaysian dagger. Modenas built its millionth motorcycle in June 2007. It makes mostly small motorcycles, scooters and underbone mopeds below 250 cc and exports to 17 countries.
The Modenas logo
The current Modenas logo, adopted in 2024, is a navy circle with a stylised “M” inside it, above the name “MODENAS” in wide navy capital letters.
