Internal combustion engines are dirty and there’s no arguement. The carbon polution emitted by passenger cars contribute to at least 25% of our world’s 90% of the air polution that we breath today. While other country are pushing legislation worries on climate change, pushing electric vehicles to replace petrol-engines, Malaysia is still pondering if EV(Electric Vehicle) is the way forward. Recently in Budget 2022, the Malaysian government announced a tax and duties waiver for imported EVs – How much savings on a Porsche Taycan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Malaysia, your electric supplies are largely generated by coal, oil and gas (thermal power plant). If you are considering an electric vehicle solely concern for the environment then you have to first question how clean is your electrical supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perodua’s President and CEO, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said \u201cI always say from well to wheel. The first thing that we need to do is we have to make sure that we achieve carbon neutral not in the product \u2013 which is the EV \u2013 but the production process, which is our factory, the production of energy generation,\u201d he said, adding the production process to the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on our calculation, EV and hybrid \u2013 because we\u2019re depending on burning of coal for 50% energy source \u2013 HEV (hybrid) is still the best for Malaysia if you\u2019re talking about being environmentally friendly,\u201d he declared, before emphasising on carbon neutrality again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe what the government is saying (with this tax-free EV move) is let\u2019s get the economy ball rolling, but at the same time the government would like to push a carbon neutral policy \u2013 as mentioned by the prime minister,\u00a0Malaysia is very much committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050<\/a>, and we\u2019re working together with the government, moving towards the guidelines given by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hybrids over full electric cars, for now, sounds very much like the view of Toyota, which is of course the owner of Daihatsu, Perodua\u2019s long-time partner. In September, Toyota president Akio Toyoda \u2013 in his capacity as Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) chairman \u2013\u00a0urged Japan to not follow Europe\u2019s EV model blindly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn pursuing carbon neutrality,\u00a0carbon is our enemy, not the internal combustion engine. To reduce carbon, I believe there should be practical and sustainable solutions that fit the circumstances of each country and region. What we need to do over the next several years is to leverage the technological advantages that we have built up and take immediate steps to maximise CO2 reductions using the electrified vehicles we have now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Japanese government has determined various targets, likely with the upcoming COP26 in mind, but first of all it is just targets that they show us, and second of all, the targets seem to be based on how policies are discussed in Europe, not on the particular situation in Japan. That is why I would like to ask for your understanding that the paths to carbon neutrality differ in each country,\u201d Toyoda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysian arm UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT), which will soon launch the\u00a0Corolla Cross Hybrid,<\/a> calls hybrids a\u00a0\u201crealistic bridge\u201d towards electrification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
