The Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) targets the production of Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) to be ramped up to as much as 85% of total production in Malaysia by the year 2020, according to News Straits Times. Its CEO Madani Sahari said that the target is within reach, as the industry is already expected to reach MAI’s 40% target by the end of this year.
Madani added that a local company has shown interest in producing EEVs. “There will be EEV production and testing centre set up in Glenmarie that would be carried out by a local company with joint ventures with other foreign companies,” he said. “Malaysia will be the first country in the region to produce such vehicles that were underlined under the NAP (National Automotive Policy) 2014 strategy.”
Also mentioned is a new National Automotive Roadmap 2050 which will be presented to the government soon – this would include plans for the future of automotive driving.
“The current NAP roadmap is only for up to 2030, and we came up with a new roadmap that would be inclusive for the automotive sector until 2050,” Madani said. “Although the technologies are fast evolving for the automotive industry, our regulations and enforcement have yet to follow suit and this would also be contained in the new framework.”

AP system regularisation is definitely on track.
ON track?
The AP has been here for donkey years n will continue to distort our automotive market until there is a regime change.If not,it is only a MYTH THAT regularisation is on track.
You r flying in your permaidani into DREAMLAND.
A lot of cars are low emissions on the road but gomen don’t want to recognize them only. They want to hit target: Allow more models to be registered as EEV la. Ape susah sangat ni?
Cars might be EEV but the factories producing them r not EEV. So how to be EEV compliant?
How about driving it without fuel-conscious?
All thought years Rakyat being suffering on high car price with unrealistic taxes that implanted by some men… Now and coming future generations will be suffering more if the AP system cronies and taxes not reduced or abolish. When will Rakyat wakeup?!?!?!
So shy Madani. He cannot solve AP cheats, he cannot solve Najib’s promise to reduce car prices by 30% but here, he can talk about EEV.
Hello Madani, even Iriz EV also Malaysians are waiting so long. That you promised 4 years ago.
EEV is just a concept to camouflage VERY HIGH CAR TAXES. It is the product of everlasting perlindungan.The losers are heavily taxed car buyers,who become slaves to banks.
Elsewhere,citizens own cars.
In Bolehland,BANKS own cars.We are merely financial slaves.
X kesah la kete EEV ker..kete lembu ker.
Janji harga turun 30% mcm janji PM kiter.
“Malaysia will be the first country in the region to produce such vehicles that were underlined under the NAP (National Automotive Policy) 2014 strategy.”
That’s abit like saying my mom will be the first person in the world to cook her new mee goreng recipe. No really honestly, what’s an EEV car?What makes a car qualify for an EEV? And what benefits does an EEV car receive in comparison. I don’t understand for example how the new Honda City is a EEV and not say a Almera or etc.
Thailand Ecocar policy perhaps the best in Asean because it involves a new car tax structure which directly promote fuel efficiency for both car buyers and car manufacturers.
But here EEV is a failure as long as the car tax structure not CO2 emission and fuel economy based. Its a joke to talk about EEV when car tax still based on engine capacity.
So what then if new car tax needs Finance ministry or Customs dept ammendments at Parliament? Get it pass as new law by MPs lah! Govt could collect even more car taxes on those big expensive cars while making it cheaper for rakyat to buy Eco cars.
Simple effective idea yet MITI so smart not to think about it.
Because those ministers and MITI’s orang sendiri are buying big expensive cars, nobody buys Axia yo.
Agree with your point.
But stop with the “yo”. Black Americans don’t use it anymore at the end of sentences. Or anyone else trying to be cool. That shit died a long time ago. Or never even lived.
Haiyah production rate increase ah?
for a moment i thought EEV cars will get 85% discount in the future :(
EEV got price reduction but failed to reach 30% price reduction as promised. So how?
No point for CKD eev if the benefit did not go to the customer. Madani should also highlight what action can be taken to the greedy manufacter who did not reduce the car price while their car manufactured entitle for the eev incentive. Volvo ckd eev > all
Volvo > all.
Honda and BMW the worst. Honda maintain price (heck, even increase it later due to “forex”), pretending earlier price is “introductory”, so the (imaginery) “difference” is the EEV incentive.
BMW meanwhile pretend they lower price, yet the before EEV price is super jacked up, even compared to its launch price.
In one recent survey reported by Malaymail 85% respondents choose fuel economy as top priority in buying cars.
The other 15% must be those delusional Asian Volvo macais.
Walau…eh… so sohai… EEV promate car price increased… civic, accord, saga, persona, camry, altis, semua naik…
Buy second hand lor…dont burden yourself with monthly payment…wirh that xtra money go holiday…see the world…save the cheerleader…
But but but used car owner cannot show off when new year gathering, how?
The whole EEV thing is nonsense. They need a roadmap to have 99% electric vehicles on the road by 2030. They need another roadmap to have Malaysia producing power from 100% renewable sources by 2030.
Good comment Sgt Scoop. With nincompoops running the show, the road maps will be changing many times along the way. By the time we reach 2030, EEV will be non existence bcos it will be replaced by zero emission.
By 2030 only EV cars will be allowed on sale. Cars more than 15 yrs of age must be fully disposed, either as wreck or recycled. All new cars must be 100% made of recyclable material or at least 87%. As EV cars have limited range, top speed must be capped at 105kmh and therefore will not need a heavy NCAP guidelines like today. However both active and passive safety features will remain to be adhered.
Malaysians wants EEV with reliability and good QC.
Same LOO, Malaysian want a car that is reliable, low cost to maintain, high in RV, safety features up to mark & most importantly, without all the taxes that comes with the car. I guess that is too much to ask for.
We already got rubbish quality in takata airbags made by your jepunis overlords
What EEV? Abolish AP, GST, Excise Duties lah
which AP?
Abolish those who dont appreciate a single thing abt the country is a better solution…
Some tax had been abolish by the eev incentive. But still no price reduce, infact some hike the price for their eev model ckd here. Weird isn’t it? It is time for us customer kasi ajar these greedy company. Don’t only talk alot and condemn here and there while some of us still earger to buy cars from these greedy company even though you know they kencing you kaw..kaw..
“MAI targets the production of Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV)…”
wow they said it as if they are the one controlling the production line ^^
Madani, Sorry to pour cold waters on U bro. By 2050, most cars will be powered by new technologies like solar, full electric & newer technologies.
A car called the Quant e-Sportlimousine that was presented at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show is the first electric car powered by salt water and is now certified for use on European public roads. Zero emission is the way forward.
I hope your wallet is solar powered.
Hooman, your sarcasm is noted. Contribute something here otherwise STFU. Show or tell me/us something that will be of use. Your posturing do not add any value here. I will thank U if U can contribute something regarding EEV.
To buy car is another story altogether…got it?
EEV at 40 percent by end this year? where is the percentage now? Project MIMPI in effect..
Of course, when P2 meet their production target with their so call EEV car!.
EEV does not mean electrical vehicle! In fact local cars like P1 & P2 are getting the EEV status too, the engines & gearboxes are far from being energy efficient.
when p1 and p2 can be EEV, which is not EEV probably the next question..
persona eev or not? not stated anywhere in their promotion…..
I’m just wondering if Volvo S60 T6 can get EEV status, why don’t Golf GTI receive it also? The price can be further cheaper than current price.
First google eev Malaysia cars and find PT article on the definition. It’s funny for luxury cars up to 11l per 100 km can be considered eev. What age is this??? There are Audis that can do 5l per 100 km and someone making a car with 11l per 100 km can qualify? Executive car can qualify with 9.5l per km. So my 6 year old 2.0 NA sedan is automatically an EEV. basically 80% of cars already qualify except for campro engine cars. Then tesla model s should be given away for free under that definition. Not only zero tax, they need to pay you money to drive tesla.
Hey guys, is there anyway I can check the models that already eligible (applied) for EEV?

Hi paultan.org. Can you guys list down all the current vehicles that are under the EEV incentive, including the prices before and after if available? That would be very informative and helpful. Also, possible future cars that are eligible for the incentive. Thanks.
Why on earth is segmen E,F,J even exist for EEV? (refer to EEV technical specs). This “Executive, Luxury and Large 4×4” does not even supposed to be receiving tax reduction! crazy how malaysia ppl thinking nowadays.
