Despite the policy U-turn by the European Union to exempt carbon-neutral synthetic fuels (also known as e-fuels) from the trade bloc’s 2035 ban on combustion engines, Mercedes-Benz will maintain its course to phase out combustion engines in favour of battery EVs.

Isuzu Malaysia ended 2022 with a record-breaking performance, chalking up 9,211 units in sales of the Isuzu D-Max, a few tens shy of doubling the numbers the company achieved in 2021.
