PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the targeted subsidy for diesel, which saw the price of the fuel shoot up to RM3.35 per litre from the blanket subsidised price of RM2.15, is expected to pose minimal impact on the sales of diesel vehicles.

The move, however, might speed up the country’s transition to adopting cleaner-fuel vehicles.
