A Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) is required for all vehicles used off-road in Malaysia under Section 7 of the Road Transport Act 1987, says Road Transport Department (JPJ) Director-General Datuk Zailani Hashim. Under the Act, no person shall own or use a motor vehicle unless that vehicle is registered with JPJ with failure to comply subject to a fine of not less than RM2,000 and not more than RM10,000.
Zailani said this during a testing and inspection session for All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) intended for off-road use at the Promas Technology proving ground in Bertam, Pulau Pinang. He further explained registering an off-road vehicle has benefits, including proof of ownership and eligibility for vehicle loans and financing.
“JPJ is supportive of the recreational off-road ATV industry and will assist all players in the local industry to obtain Vehicle Type Approval (VTA),” Zailani said. As of June 2022, JPJ has approved vehicles from three manufacturers eligible to be registered for off-road use – Promas Technology, CFMoto and WMoto.

So… JPJ need to rename to JPJDBJ is Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan dan Bukan Jalan ?
Best of all…those aren’t even companies remotely established in making ATV’s. Just the usual bunch of CKD companies with existing ties.
Try bringing in your skidoo/Polaris etc ATV and see how keen they are in assisting a privateer in VTA-ing their vehicles!
Kalau dah ada VOC, boleh buat road tax lah?
I’m thinking of that EXACT QUESTION…If that is the case, I’m ONE of the guys buying this one…!!!! Our terrains in SARAWAK here NEED something like THESE!!!!
So can u register it and use it on public roads and highways?…
