The recently-launched Proton eMas 7 will be the official car of Malaysia’s ASEAN 2025 Chairmanship, but other EVs will be used as well.
Government vehicles in Malaysia will transition to EVs in stages starting next year, based on needs and the finance ministry's decision.
The Guidelines on the Transition of Government Vehicles to EVs is a guide document prepared by the NRES ministry and aims to make EVs comprise half of the government fleet.
The transition strategy includes fleet evaluation, EV selection, charging infrastructure planning, cost analysis, carbon emission reduction, and emphasis on safety, monitoring, reporting, and training.
