The ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI) says there are plans to review and update the National Automotive Policy 2020 (NAP 2020) to ensure it remains relevant in the future, Bernama reports. According to MITI minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, the updates are necessary given the rapid changes that have been coming about in the industry.
He said that there had been many new developments in the automotive sector, especially regarding energy-efficient vehicles (EEV) and electric vehicles (EV), since NAP 2020 was announced. The current policy, which aims to implement growth on a number of automotive-related fronts over the course of this decade, was revealed in February 2020 as an enhancement of NAP 2014.
“I do think that in any planning, especially over the long-term, we need to be dynamic and open to implement the necessary changes,” he told reporters after launching Proton’s Rahmah service campaign yesterday.
Zafrul said MITI is in talks with industry players to review the policy, and it would also hold discussions with related agencies to look at matters raised by the industry regarding the incorporation of new technologies. He said that this will ensure the policy keeps pace with developments.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
What update? Abolish lah. All monies collected also goes to B40.
Do you mean tax free EV for the rich can collect tax for the B40?
This dude lost in the election.
His post is due to ‘spoils of war” in unity germen.
Previously,he threaten BMW owners with floated fuel price.
Anwarkor’s hands r tied,cos he cant afford BN quitting.
We have to put up with all these talk ,talk,talk.
We are still waiting for PHtiga 3rd national car to make cars more affordable now that P2 is no longer mampu milik B40.
Abolish AP. Provide incentives for private industry (SMEs, condos, etc.) to build chargers for EVs. Fairer tax structure that is merit-based and not protecting P1 and P2 exclusively.

Kawan baik ini dude…NameWee (Mr.Tokok)
Get rid of it altogether and let the market be free. We’re tired of driving the same crap cars. We want more variety in choices of brands and models. All these policies are so anti-human / anti-people.
Just get rid of NAP, AP made available for all citizens every 5 years and cut taxes for imported vehicles and comply with asean free trade agreement which we signed but did not honor. Enough of national car protection and give consumers more freedom.
Abiding with AFTA will automatically get car manufacturers to set up bases in asean as our market is of 500 mil people.
The millions of voters should be rewarded and not just the two car companies. After 5 months i have not seen any reform. Its like same old dr m gomen in the 1990’s.
get rid of NAP and high car taxes…..u can replace it with zero subsidy on fuel….actually consumer paid already the soo called fuel subsidy upfront when they purchase the car. What fuel subsidy?? actually no fuel subsidy punnnnn….for the needy, can give gv subsidy directly instead of T20 pun dpt fuel subsidy.
Good, start by fixing the road tax structure for EV.
Miti Minister: All can nego, BUT Proton cannot touch! We already spend RM100billion (random) on it so it’s here to stay!!
MITI Minister: All can nego, BUT Pariahdua cannot touch AT ALL! Aldy made big fat profit at the expense of rakyat with underspec low quality junks, they are being too greedy and anti-competition so that they can hike up their selling price as much as they can coupled with shitty after sales service with defective parts (Read: oil filter bocor).
Give more incentives or tax deductions to hybrids that can travel more than 50km on electric mode! We don’t have enough public DC chargers in most towns, so hybrids make sense.
Mr. Blur with his many RM50K bicycles talking. So relevant to us.
What happened if a local shop setup ev charger at their facility? What licence is needed? What regulations apply? Is setting up ev charger regulated to be open to private investment or closed case.. meaning only certain big companies allowed?
