Winston Score History

The full picture

Sanyang Motor Co., Ltd. (SYM) is a Taiwanese company that makes motorcycles, scooters, and automobiles. It sells vehicles under the SYM brand and is one of Taiwan's largest motorcycle manufacturers, serving everyday commuters and urban riders across Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The company also has a long-standing partnership with Honda, which has shaped its product development and manufacturing standards over the decades.

Sanyang earns money primarily through selling vehicles and spare parts, with additional revenue from after-sales services. It operates mainly in Taiwan but also exports to markets in Vietnam, the Philippines, and parts of Europe. Its established dealer network and brand recognition in Taiwan give it a stable competitive position, though it faces pressure from rising electric vehicle adoption. The shift toward electric scooters and motorcycles is both the company's biggest challenge and its key growth opportunity, as competitors and government policies push the industry away from gasoline-powered two-wheelers.
