EVs the way forward to green transition, reduces petrol dependence

Quick Summary:

KULIM: Electric vehicles (EVs) should be seen as a crucial step in Malaysia's green transition and a means to reduce national petrol consumption, according to Investment, Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong.

He added that as of Sept 30 this year, there are 32,543 registered Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) on Malaysian roads, 98 per cent of which were imported as Completely Built-Up (CBU) units.

"By assembling our cars locally, it not only allows us to provide more competitive pricing but also signifies Chery’s long-term commitment in Malaysia, fostering job creation and skill development within the local workforce,” he said.
