Kuala Lumpur: In conjunction with Malaysia Autoshow 2025, Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) officially launched the Voluntary Next Generation Vehicle (NxGV) Labelling Scheme, a milestone initiative under the National Automotive Policy 2020 (NAP2020) aimed at accelerating Malaysia’s transition to green and intelligent mobility, while reinforcing its leadership within the ASEAN region.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, in the same spirit of innovation, MARii also held the NxGV Challenge 2025 Prize Giving Ceremony, celebrating youth-led breakthroughs in electric vehicle (EV) design and development. This event was co-organised by MARii and SAE Malaysia, with support from PERODUA. The dual milestone reflects Malaysia’s proactive stance under its ASEAN Chairmanship in driving the region’s transition towards low carbon, connected mobility solutions, while nurturing the next generation of automotive talent.
