Introduction
The introduction of the remote control car alarm changed the way drivers interacted with their vehicles. That took place 30 years ago. CSE was at the forefront then; introducing this industry-transforming technology to Asia. Today, the CSE Group continues to provide market-leading original equipment (OE) products and services to the automotive, fleet and insurance sectors.
Today, this vision has taken on a grander, wider scale. CSE is now working with our partners – including internationally established technology companies, insurance companies, telecommunication giants, automotive manufacturers and assemblers – to tap these opportunities that come with the surging waves of technology advancements, global shifts, industrial and business developments taking place in the 21st century.
To face this challenge, CSE itself has transformed. It is no longer represented by a single company - CSE Automotive Technologies. Today, CSE is a group also made up of CSE Telematics, Cobra Auto, CSE Singapore, CSE Regional TSPs and CSE Science Jet. CSE has invested and put ourselves in a position where we are now able to address and cater for the design and development of telematics platforms and technologies; in terms of both hardware integration and software applications.
Telematics is the new frontier. Presently, it encompasses telecommunications, vehicular technologies, road transportation, road safety, electrical engineering (sensors, instrumentation, wireless communications) and computer science (multimedia, Internet). Tomorrow, the horizons of telematics might stretch further; beyond that.
But we stand ready to face change. The CSE Group now has the resources required -- hardware, software, data centre, 24/7 Secure Operating Centre, installation, field services and support – to take on telematics projects spanning across various industries, technologies and sectors. With these resources, CSE is now able to work with insurance companies to take advantage of the de-tariffed auto insurance environment, collaborate with telco to launch a new intelligent fleet management solution and continue our partnerships with automakers.
We would like to share this vision and work with our partners to make the world a safer, better place to live in; especially on the road, where many lives are lost. Telematics can be used to make a difference to society. To us, this has always been an idea worth spreading, worth aspiring to and always worth working towards.

CSE Group, formerly known as Cobra Malaysia started in 1985, located in a small shop at Taman Tun when CSE was the first company to introduce remote control car alarm system technologies in Asia. As a pioneer, it took hard work, belief and time to convince the industry to accept it.
It took two years, in fact, to convince Toyota and Honda in Malaysia to standard fit all their CKD (complete knocked down) cars with our remote control car alarm and central locking system.
These breakthroughs became
CSE’s first Original Equipment (OE) supply contracts.
In 1995, after continuously meeting the stringent industry demands, tests and audits, CSE achieved the preferred Tier 1 automotive supplier status to major car makers for theft-deterrent security systems.
In 1996, CSE also established technology partnerships with the Meta System Group in Italy and Fujitsu Ten Japan for OE business including parking aid systems, in-car entertainment and automotive electronic systems.
To enter the emerging telematics industry, CSE Telematics was established in 2002 to set up our own telematics data centre and a Secure Operating Centre (SOC) comprising of a Control Room and Call Centre. The Control Room operates 24/7 to provide theft alert management and stolen vehicle recovery services. The Call Centre provides service activation and customer support services six days a week.
The challenges exacted by the nature of the automotive industry – of constant advancements, improvements and innovation – can be inspiring and demanding at the same time. However, all our past developments and achievements have placed CSE in an excellent position to provide new, high-impact industry solutions for tomorrow. This brings us to the second part of our journey that we hope to travel with you – Our Vision.
