KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The development of Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd’s (Perodua) electric vehicle (EV) model will strengthen the capabilities of the national automotive industry and reflect its commitment to green technology, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the development of EVs also reflects a commitment to creating job opportunities for the people, and offering affordable products with high social impact.
“Today is an opportunity to review the operations and meet the workforce that is the backbone of the success of Perodua or the “King of the Road” in Sungai Choh, Rawang, Selangor.
"During the briefing session, I was also told about Perodua's current performance and plans for the launch of its first EV model which will be unveiled soon," he said in a post on X.
Anwar said this initiative coincides with the spirit of Malaysia MADANI, which emphasises progress based on sustainable values, inclusiveness and the well-being of the people.
“This effort shows that economic progress and human values can go hand in hand, that innovation and environmental responsibility are not different options, but two sides of a single aspiration for a MADANI nation that champions a green and competitive economy,” he added.
He said he is confident Perodua will continue to be a key catalyst in strengthening the country’s automotive ecosystem and driving Malaysia towards a more sustainable, creative and people-oriented future of mobility.
