15 May 2012 12:24 PM
SHAH ALAM, May 14 (Bernama) -- Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir today said the government expected some announcements from vehicle manufacturers or assemblers, including big car makers to produce Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) in Malaysia soon. "We hope to see some announcements being made by some of the big car makers in the near future based on the incentives we offered and I'm quite confident they will be taking advantage of some of the special incentives we are providing, he said. Mukhriz told reporters this after officiating the two-day National Automotive Technology and Digital Engineering Symposium (NATDES) organised by the ministry's agency, Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI), which began Monday. He said the incentives for automakers to produce more EEVs in Malaysia has been announced in the previous National Automotive Policy (NAP) but it took some time for them to understand the benefits offered to them by the government. Asked when the much-awaited NAP review would be unveiled, he said, "Let the (MITI) minister, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed announced it and the NAP would provide a road map for the local automotive industry from this year up to 2020." -- BERNAMA
