KUALA LUMPUR: EP Manufacturing Bhd (EPMB) has secured conditional approval for a manufacturing licence from the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) to manufacture and assemble four-wheel energy-efficient vehicles (EEVs), electric passenger vehicles (EVs) and electric commercial vehicles.

In a statement, the company said its wholly-owned subsidiary Peps-JV (Melaka) Sdn Bhd (PJVM) received the award, subject to conditions it must fulfill within six months from the letter of approval.

EPMB is an investment holding company listed on the Main Market with operations in the automotive business.

He said the initiative will drive business growth and also support Malaysia's aspiration and vision of a greener future. - Bernama
