BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The all-new, all-hybrid electric Lexus LBX was officially launched on March 8 at the Lexus Brunei showroom in Gadong.

NBT (Brunei) Sdn Bhd Managing Director Ahmad Omar Husin and Lexus Brunei’s general manager Muhammad Clovien Abdullah Timpoh unveiled the new Lexus LBX.

Since 2005, Lexus has been a pioneer of electrification in the luxury segment and NBT is the pioneer of hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) in Brunei Darussalam.

Today, over two million units of Lexus hybrid EVs have been sold globally, with over 700 in Brunei.

NBT Brunei, as the ‘Home of the Hybrid EVs’, continues their commitment on sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

Guided by Inchcape’s Responsible Business strategy, these initiatives further align with Brunei’s strategic goals in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing towards a more sustainable country.

Lexus will continue to introduce a range of hybrid vehicles to make sustainable driving accessible to all, ensuring customers can choose from the most advances, fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly vehicles. – Borneo Bulletin/ANN
