Malaysia is moving towards a greener and more sustainable future, in line with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. In this journey, electric vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role. The EV industry is not only rapidly growing worldwide but is also gaining significant traction in the ASEAN region, including Malaysia. The country has laid a solid foundation to develop its EV ecosystem, with clear goals set to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
馬來西亞正朝着更加綠色和可持續的未來發展,與全球減少碳排放和應對氣候變化的努力保持一致。在這一過程中,電動車輛(EVs)發揮着至關重要的作用。EV行業不僅在全球迅速增長,而且在包括馬來西亞在內的東盟地區獲得了顯著的動力。該國已經奠定了發展EV生態系統的堅實基礎,設定了到2050年實現淨零碳排放的明確目標。
However, introducing an EV culture into the Malaysian economy is no easy task. Although there is tremendous potential, the main challenge is to drive mass adoption and encourage consumers to purchase electric vehicles. This is where the government plays a crucial role by implementing policies that support the growth of the EV ecosystem.
然而,將電動車文化引入馬來西亞經濟並非易事。儘管潛力巨大,主要挑戰在於推動大規模採用並鼓勵消費者購買電動車輛。政府在實施支持EV生態系統增長的政策方面發揮着至關重要的作用。
In the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (12MP), the government has emphasised its commitment to green growth, with EVs as a key strategy to achieve this. Malaysia has introduced policies like the National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2020, which promotes the adoption of Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs), including EVs, to reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021-2030, introduced by the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), aims for EVs to make up at least 15% of total vehicle sales by 2030, and for 10,000 EV charging stations to be built by 2025.
在第十二個馬來西亞計劃(12MP)中,政府強調了其致力於綠色增長,以EV作爲實現這一目標的關鍵戰略。馬來西亞已經推出瞭如2020年國家汽車政策(NAP)等政策,促進能源效率車輛(EEV)的採用,包括EV,以減少碳排放。此外,由環境和水利部(KASA)推出的2021-2030年低碳移動藍圖(LCMB)旨在到2030年使EV佔總車輛銷售的至少15%,並計劃到2025年建設1萬個充電樁。
Malaysia also has significant potential in the EV manufacturing ecosystem. The country is known as one of Southeast Asia's leading electrical and electronics (E&E) manufacturing hubs, and this strength can be leveraged to produce high-value components crucial to electric vehicles. With a mature E&E ecosystem, Malaysia can support the manufacturing and assembly of EVs and autonomous vehicles (AVs).
馬來西亞在EV製造生態系統中也擁有巨大潛力。該國被譽爲東南亞主要的電子電氣(E&E)製造中心之一,這個優勢可以用來製造對電動車輛至關重要的高價值元件。憑藉成熟的E&E生態系統,馬來西亞可以支持EV和自動駕駛車輛(AV)的製造和組裝。
However, achieving these goals comes with substantial challenges. EVs and their batteries are still relatively expensive due to limited local production of critical components. The availability of charging infrastructure, vehicle services, and supportive policies is also insufficient. Consumer concerns, such as maintenance costs and perceived risks, further hinder the broader adoption of EVs.
然而,實現這些目標面臨着重重挑戰。由於關鍵元件的本地生產有限,EV及其電池仍然相對昂貴。充電基礎設施、車輛服務和支持性政策的可用性也是不足的。消費者關注的維護成本和感知風險等問題進一步阻礙了EV的廣泛採用。
To address these challenges, the Malaysian government has established an Electric Vehicle Taskforce, led by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). This task force was formed to develop comprehensive EV policies and streamline incentives to encourage EV adoption in Malaysia. MIDA, as one of the key agencies, is committed to attracting high-quality investments in the EV supply chain.
爲了應對這些挑戰,馬來西亞政府成立了一個由國際貿易和工業部(MITI)領導的電動車工作組。這個工作組的成立是爲了制定全面的電動車政策,並簡化激勵措施,以鼓勵馬來西亞推廣電動車。作爲關鍵機構之一,MIDA致力於吸引優質的電動車供應鏈投資。
The government has also introduced various incentives to stimulate the growth of the EV industry. Among these incentives are full exemptions from import duties, excise duties, and sales tax for locally assembled EVs until December 31, 2025. Additionally, EV users are eligible for road tax exemptions until the end of next year. These initiatives are expected to boost EV ownership and drive green investment in Malaysia.
政府還推出了各種激勵措施,以促進電動車行業的增長。其中包括到2025年12月31日,對本地組裝的電動車免徵進口稅、消費稅和銷售稅。此外,電動車用戶可以享受道路稅的豁免,直到明年年底。這些舉措預計將促進電動車的擁有和推動馬來西亞的綠色投資。
In addition, attractive tax incentives are available for the development of critical EV components, such as battery management systems and charging technologies. These incentives, including tax reliefs for EV charging infrastructure, demonstrate the government's commitment to strengthening Malaysia's EV ecosystem.
此外,爲了發展關鍵的電動車元件,如電池管理系統和充電技術,可獲得有吸引力的稅收激勵措施。這些激勵措施包括對電動車充電設施的稅收減免,體現了政府加強馬來西亞電動車生態系統的承諾。
For example, two leading South Korean companies, Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia and SK Nexilis, have made substantial investments in EV battery cell and component production in Malaysia. These investments reflect international confidence in Malaysia's commitment to a greener future.
例如,兩家領先的韓國公司,三星SDI Energy Malaysia和Sk Nexilis,在馬來西亞的電池和元件生產方面投資重大。這些投資反映了國際對馬來西亞邁向綠色未來的信心。
In this effort, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has also played a key role by implementing a 10-Year EV Roadmap that targets 500,000 electric vehicles and 18,000 charging stations by 2030. To achieve this vision, TNB is building EV charging infrastructure across the country while conducting research and development on smart charging and autonomous vehicle technologies.
在這方面,國家電力有限公司(TNB)也發揮了關鍵作用,實施了一個爲期10年的電動車路線圖,目標是到2030年擁有50萬輛電動車和1.8萬個充電站。爲了實現這一願景,TNB正在全國範圍內建設電動車充電設施,並進行智能充電和自動駕駛技術的研究和開發。
With strong policies, investment support, and public-private partnerships, Malaysia is on the right track to realise its green mobility aspirations by 2050. These efforts not only aim to reduce carbon emissions but also to create high-skilled job opportunities, attract green investments, and build a more sustainable future for the next generation.
藉助強有力的政策、投資支持和公私合作伙伴關係,馬來西亞正朝着2050年實現綠色出行的目標邁進。這些努力不僅旨在減少碳排放,還旨在創造高技能的就業機會,吸引綠色投資,併爲下一代建設一個更可持續的未來。
