        Pioneer Satus

        In addition to consumption incentives, the Malaysian Government has also offered incentives for the
        domestic assembly or manufacture of hybrid-electric and battery-electric vehicles and components.
        Companies that assemble or manufacture such cars can be given “Pioneer Status”, which means that they
        would then be eligible for a 100% exemption from corporate income tax for 10 years, and a 100%
        investment tax allowance on qualified capital expenditure incurred within the first five years. To be eligible for the incentives applying to parts and
        component manufacturers, a company had to submit its application to the Malaysian Investment

This label shows the vehicle's energy consumption in Watt hours/km, expected range when fully charged, fuel consumption in litres/100km and CO2 emissions in g/km based on a standard test. While the label alerts consumers to possible CO2 emissions from recharging, it does not attempt to quantify those emissions on the label, as this will depend on how the electricity is generated. Consumers are encouraged to visit the Green Vehicle Guide website to estimate the vehicle's recharge emissions.

        Long-term goal and strategy of Japan's automotive industry for tackling global climate change

        …2018, the Strategic Commission for the New Era of Automobiles released an interim report setting long-term goals toward 2050, including 80% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle (90% in case of passenger vehicles) through technological developments, the promotion of connectivity and optimisation of car use. Ultimately, Japan aims to achieve well-to-wheel zero emission society by the end of 2015.

         

        The interim report also stipulates 2030 targets regarding the diffusion rate of next generation automobiles:

        - Hybrid vehicles: 30-40%

        - Battery electric vehicles/plug-in hybrid vehicles: 20-30%

        - Fuel-cell electric vehicles: 3%

        - Clean diesel 5-10%

        Towards an industrial policy

         The government's industrial strategy focuses on developing five key sectors: agriculture, electronics, electric vehicle manufacturing, medical and pharmaceutical industries, and creative industries. The strategy includes specific guidelines for growing these sectors, with sustainability being a major focus. One of the main goals is for 50% of all vehicle production to be electric by 2030. It also promotes the use of electric vehicles in public transportation and the expansion of charging infrastructure. Additionally, the strategy aims to support the creation of industrial clusters and encourages the development of low-carbon hydrogen as part of the transition to cleaner energy.
