Having already unveiled the hydrogen Toyota Hilux fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) project at the tail end of last year, the carmaker has peeled the covers off its first working prototype of the model on the shores of the Toyota Manufacturing UK plant in Derby, England. Developed alongside consortium partners and supported by UK government funding, it's another building block in Toyota's vision of 'try one, try all' multi-pathway carbon-neutral motoring philosophy, which has so far seen the com

Dinamikjaya Motors, a subsidiary of Bermaz Auto, held a Q&A session at the launch of the 2023 Kia Niro EV to address inquiries from the media, and one of the questions was whether there were any plans to locally assemble (CKD) the Kia Niro EV at the Inokom Plant in Kulim, Kedah. The response from the company was: "Currently, there are no plans to assemble the Kia Niro EV at Inokom Plant." Executive Chairman of Bermaz Auto, Dato’ Sri Ben Yeoh, said, “With the initiatives by the government to allo

Tesla is the poster child when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs) to the point that some might overlook better alternatives out there. One of them is the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 and I know some of you might be thinking, “It’s just an electric GLA”. But the EQA is more than just a GLA with an electric motor; it’s a no-brainer kind of electric SUV. It’s an EV that feels and drives like its internal combustion engine (ICE) sibling with a few more redeeming qualities. As such, you’re not too overwhel

The Toyota Hilux is the definitive pick-up truck in Malaysia and some fans might be anticipating the arrival of a GR Sport variant. After all, giving the Hilux the Gazoo Racing treatment as seen in the Vios could enhance its sportiness. Well, Japanese media had recently reported that the Hilux GR Sport (GR-S) is expected to be launched in Japan by October 2021. Interestingly enough, the Hilux sold more units than the Camry and Vellfire in the Land of the Rising Sun in March and April 2021 with a

Isuzu Motors Limited has announced that export of their popular pick-up truck, the Isuzu D-Max has begun. The D-Max will be assembled at Isuzu’s plant in Thailand and exported to Australia first before proceeding sequentially to countries across the world. It has been almost a year since Isuzu introduced the all-new 2020 Isuzu D-Max pick-up at the Bangkok Motor Expo. Since then, the D-Max has maintained its status as the top-ranking pick-up in Thailand receiving many accolades like 2019 Most Pop

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that the production version of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show’s EQA concept car will be launched by the end of this year. Rather than being an electric version of the A-Class hatchback as previously thought, the production 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA will be an electric version of the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. This makes sense as the GLA’s taller body makes it easier to package the floor-mounted hybrid battery. Remember that the EQC is based on GLC-Class rather than the C-Cl
