UMWT to drive green mobility growth

Ravindran: I think you will see hybrid versions being gradually introduced across all models in the next two years. We will start from Vios, and then extend to all models, including Camry where we have the hybrid.

UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) is poised to embrace a comprehensive and diversified strategy in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), recognising the need to address critical factors within the local EV market.

The subsidiary of UMW Holdings Bhd, which is involved in the assembly, marketing and exclusive distribution of Toyota and Lexus cars, believes the keys among these are the need for widespread infrastructure, including a nationwide public charging stations network, and improving the affordability of EVs to make them more accessible to a broader consumer base.
