Yesterday, the government kicked off its fuel subsidy rationalisation programme by proclaiming that diesel prices in Peninsular Malaysia will be floated, and will retail at RM3.35 per litre starting from today, June 10.
This means that the price of Euro 5 B10 and B20 diesel in Pen Malaysia is now RM1.20 (or 56%) more than the previous capped price of RM2.15, which has been in place since February 2021. While not mentioned in the press statement, the price of Euro 5 B7 – which before this costs 20 sen per litre more – should be adjusted to RM3.55 per litre.
Subsidy is maintained for certain sectors. Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) 2.0 provides fleet cards to eligible logistics vehicles to mitigate the impact of the diesel price on consumer goods prices and is set at RM2.15 per litre. SKDS 1.0 is for land public transport, including school buses, express buses, ambulances and fire engines – the price is RM1.88 per litre. Subsidised diesel for fishermen is maintained at RM1.65 per litre.

As such, in theory, the feared increase in consumer goods prices should not materialise, as commercial vehicles under the logistics sector continue to pay RM2.15 per litre for diesel. When asked about the impact of targeted diesel subsidy on Perodua, president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad affirmed that there will be no increase in cost for the carmaker.
“No, not much, because as mentioned by the minister, for large companies, mostly our carriers use diesel a..

Perodua today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Malaysia Rail Link (MRL), which itself signed an MoU with Kuantan Port. It is for potential long-term collaborations for the East Coast Rail Link’s (ECRL) freight transportation services, which will come on stream by January 2027.
The MoUs were signed by Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, MRL CEO Datuk Seri Darwis Abdul Razak and Lee Chun Fai, chairman of Kuantan Port and Group CEO/MD of IJM Corp, witnessed by transport minister Anthony Loke, who praised Perodua for being the first mover.
We often think of the ECRL as a passenger train service, but the MoU between MRL and Perodua will explore the possibility of transporting its products (cars and parts) to the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia to supplement the market leader’s growing need for logistical support.
The three parties said the MoU is poised to spur businesses to switch the movement of cargo from the traditional road method to the 665-km ECRL network. No estimations on cost and volume were shared, but one would imagine that goods transport via ECRL would be faster and more reliable than using trucks, not to mention more environmentally friendly. Loke said in his speech that the move from road to rail will reduce the number of commercial vehicles on the road, which will in turn improve road safety.

The Perodua emo-1 electric vehicle concept was shown this year in full-sized form as a battery-electric Myvi study, which was developed from the EMO EV study that emerged as a scale model last year.
Here, visual rendition maestro Theophilus Chin has offered his take on a fully electric Perodua, albeit one based on the smaller Axia.
The white, fluorescent yellow and black colour scheme of the emo-1 has been adapted to this Axia equivalent, and the aero wheels of the same colour scheme has been carried over to the ’emo-II’ as well. Theo has also placed the emo-1 with the Axia-based rendition, for comparison:

Shown last month at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024, the emo-1 takes the D51A Myvi as a donor vehicle, and gets a three-phase, permanent magnet synchronous motor rated to produce 68 PS and 220 Nm of torque, which enables a claimed 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around seven to nine seconds.
Energy is drawn from a 55.7 kWh NMC lithium-ion battery, which Perodua says will offer 350 km of range on a single charge. A full charge from 11 kw AC charging will take five hours, while 50 kW DC charging will take just over an hour, says the carmaker.
This differs from the specifications of the EMO scale model study from last year, which stated outputs of 95 PS and 121 Nm from its drive motor for a top speed of 160 km/h. While the project that led to the creation of the emo-1 began in September 2022, the actual build for the full-sized concept began a little under a year a..
