The Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) has released Malaysian vehicle registration data up to June 30, 2017, with the total number of vehicles on our roads standing at 28,181,203 units. For those keeping score, that’s 0.88 vehicles for every person in the country.
The headline number represents a 1.88 million increase over the 2015 figure, which hit 26,301,952 vehicles. Compared to 2010, when the number of vehicle registrations stood at 20,188,565 units, there are now 7,992,638 more vehicles on the road – an increase of 1.23 million vehicles a year.
Let’s take a closer look at the data. Overall, there were 13,288,797 cars and 12,933,042 motorcycles registered, as well as 185,035 public service vehicles (PSV) including buses, taxis and private hire vehicles. Registrations of goods vehicle, on the other hand, reached 1,205,744 units.
As expected, vehicles in the Federal Territories – including Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan – made up the bulk of the total, with 6,320,329 units registered. Languishing some ways adrift in second is Johor with 3,611,611 units, while Selangor sits in third with 2,904,476 units. Penang (2,655,679 units) and Perak (2,260,242 units) follow closely behind.
The automotive industry recorded sales of 284,461 units in the first half of the year. That figure has since swelled to 384,730 units as of August, and is very much on track to hitting MAA’s 2017 total industry volume (TIV) target of 590,000 units, which would represent a growth of 1.7% over last year.

Almost every person including newborn babies has a car. So wheres the need public transportations?
So dun complain when u cant afford new car, just cuz others can.
So dun complain when proton X laku.
I never did complain P1 xlaku. Ups and downs is normal in business. Like an esteemed person once said, “making losses is normal in business”.
Same like Malaysia wouldn’t want to host F1, even for free.
Also dun complain P1 always last in customers satisfaction
Most of us is forced to have a car or bike
U can always take public transport if have no money. Remember we have a caring Gov
Hahahahah….
Hahahahaha…
Is true they had no money because most of the money go the car or bike.
Take public transport, gud for environment and wallet
Sitiawan bad public transport,
There is something called bicycle
Only a fool wud say a bicycle is public transport.
over the past 20 years dont forget 1 million vehicles had been declared off the road – either by theft or insurance write-off.
1 million are also not moving. they can be old Volvo 244, Proton Tiara, Proton Savvy AMT and also all the cars at the used car bay.
KL roads so jam.
Must impose congestion charges.
Vehicle registrations in Malaysia so high.
But Proton sales so low.
No problem. Basher says this means gud work.
PT moderators need to filter out unconstructive bias commenter liddis 1.

To prime local auto industry, give double salary increments to civil servants for working hard.
28 million units. But more shocking officially there is 4 million motorists with NO LESEN
Those are official figures. Unofficial is about 6 million with NO LESEN
So, roughly 1 in every 5 motorists is ILLEGAL in Malaysia. No wonder there are so many accidents!
Why do we have such large numbers? Easy answer. Duit Kopi
If theres no givers, then theres no takers.
theres only thieves and takers here. no doubt
Finally, MAA is doing their job and sharing the facts and details we want and deserve to know. Nobody wants to hear what some politicians have to say, the hard FACTS will speak louder and clearer than any politician, corrupt or otherwise.
But just as importantly, when will MAA resume monthly announcements of new car MODELS sales data ? Since mid-2012, we no longer know what are the best (or worst) selling car models in Malaysia.
So what if the City is outselling both the Persona and Prevé combined (just my estimate) ? So what if the BR-V is outselling the Alza (according to Honda Malaysia) ? The facts are the facts. Don’t try to hide it.
Apparently, MAA or rather MyCC says ‘it is anti-competitive’. But Indonesia and Thailand both report such data. For years, the MAA has reported such data. So why did they suddenly stop in 2012 ?
MAA and and MyCC are lazy, corrupt and incompetent. That’s all there is to it.
Tongsan masters don’t need to know how bad its Malaysian investment had been doing.

Well now question is when will the car scrapping scheme come in?
today, all JPJs are connected online. i dont see a reason as to why is there a need to have separate registration number plates?
we all can actually have a standardised national number plate (perhaps a new standardised forma too like UK, japan, taiwan and singapore)
2 most important details are year of registration and the state.
we can start like this
17 V 123
17 is year.
V is for KL.
123 is running number (or booked)
at one time, this will appear – 17 VA 456
if u chose to register in Melaka, it will be like this 17 M 978
by 2 January 2018, the new number plate will be like this 18 B 1
OR
18 C 1
OR
18 P 1
Thats a stupid system cuz it make them hard to read.

Kuantiti kereta kini semakin banyak. Kerajaan mendapat banyak manfaat diatas cukai2 yang dikenakan. Malangnya jalan2 pula masih tidak banyak berubah. Kesesakan semakin meruncing. Gas karbon monoksida semakin banyak dilepaskan. Apa pula langkah kerajaan untuk mengatasi kesesakan jalanraya & pelepasan gas karbon monoksida di Malaysia?
