National Automotive Policy 2014 lacks proper incentives, say dealers


PETALING JAYA: Proton Edar Dealers Association Malaysia (PEDA) said the National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2014 lacks the proper policy and incentives to encourage local manufacturers to pursue the development of their own cars.

“PEDA welcomes all efforts and policies for cheaper cars, but incentives should be given to manufacturers who produce made-in-Malaysia vehicles from their own research and development (R&D) initiatives,” PEDA president Armin Baniaz Pahamin said in a statement.
