Auto policy makes big pitch to lure energy-efficient vehicle manufacturers


Perodua has opened a showroom in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor, that doubles as a training hub for its sales force before they are posted to their respective showrooms nationwide. The outlet is located 10km from its headquarters and plant.

THE national automotive policies over the years had their fair share of hits and misses. Apart from addressing the price of imported cars, predominantly from South-East Asia, they have tried to bring modern practices apart from limited liberalisation of the auto industry.

But the biggest failure of past policies has been in attracting foreign car companies to set up manufacturing plants in the country. And the latest version of the National Automotive Policy (NAP) aims to correct that.
