Amidst the recent hullabaloo surrounding Proton’s forthcoming electric vehicle, it’s easy to forget that Perodua is also planning to launch its first EV. We’ve seen a scale model and even a proof-of-concept prototype, the latter being called the emo-1 and apparently actually runs.
Now we have a launch timeline for P2’s EV. The news was buried in a Bursa Malaysia announcement by MCE Holdings, stating that its subsidiary Multi-Code Electronics Industries has signed contracts to supply the national carmaker with electronic and mechatronic components. These include the head unit, instrument cluster, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), switchgear and interior lighting for the electric model.
Of note is that the supply of these components is expected to kick off in the second quarter of the financial year ending July 31, 2026. Converted to the usual calendar year, this means Perodua’s EV is expected to enter production in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In case you were wondering, the MCE Group is expecting to pocket around RM19.6 million from the project, offset by a total investment of RM12.8 million. The car is also expected to provide a positive contribution to the company over a 36-month period starting from the aforementioned financial year.
This Q4 2025 timeline means Perodua will just about make the 2025 deadline provided by the government. The car will be a major departure for the company – instead of deriving the technology from partner Daihatsu, Pero..

The D74A Perodua Axia has won the Malaysia Good Design Award for Public Areas and Transportation Products, recognising the national carmaker’s most compact hatchback for its design.
Launched in February 2023, the second-generation Axia replaced its predecessor which in turn replaced the Viva, in a lineage that traces back to the Kancil, and the current model builds upon the sales success that is the first-generation Axia that had 582,728 units sold.
This is the third model from Perodua to be based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform following the Ativa and the Alza, and measures 115 mm longer and 45 mm wider than its predecessor, while its wheelbase of 2,525 mm is 70 mm longer than before.
Powering the second-generation Axia is a 1KR-VE 1.0 litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a Dual-Mode CVT, essentially a unit that combines belt drive with a gear drive for improved fuel efficiency, acceleration and quietness.
For safety kit, the top AV variant gets lane departure warning/prevention, blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert in addition to ASA 3.0, which consists of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and front vehicle departure warning, along with six airbags.
The second-generation Perodua Axia is priced from RM38,600 for the Axia 1.0L G, RM40,000 for the 1.0L X, RM44,000 for the 1.0L SE and RM49,500 for the 1.0L AV. The entry-point 2023 Axia 1.0L E is an updated first-generation model with manual transmission, pr..

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..

Perodua is offering a trade-in deal on the Aruz this month, where customers who purchase the seven-seater SUV on trade-in will enjoy a RM2,500 cash rebate from the model’s original price.
In addition to the trade-in offer, Perodua is also offering customers two years of vehicle servicing, free of charge when purchasing the Aruz. The promotion is ongoing this month, until June 30, 2024. Regular pricing for the Perodua Aruz continues to be at RM72,900 for the 1.5 X variant, and at RM77,900 for the 1.5 AV; both prices are on-the-road without insurance.
Updated in 2021, the Aruz was launched in 2019 and marked the national brand’s return to the SUV segment, after the Nautica and Kembara.
Key componentry for the Aruz remains as it has been from debut, namely with a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 101 hp and 131 Nm, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Both variants are outfitted with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, LED taillights, keyless entry and engine start, a built-in toll reader, manual air-conditioning with digital controls and rear vents, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, six speaker-audio, six airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, VSC, traction control, hill start assist, a reverse camera as well as solar and security window film.
Stepping up to the AV brings automatic LED headlamps, roof rails, SmartLink smartphone mirroring, leather upholstery (the X gets fabric), a driving video recorder..
