In view of the soon-to-be launched third national car, Chief Executive Officer of Automotive, Robotic and IoT Institute (MARii), Datuk Madani Sahari has said the criteria of “National Car” will be defined in the new National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2019.
“There is a need for the automobile industry to move away from petrol-based engines to hybrid and electric ones,” said Datuk Madani, as quoted by Bernama.
Last month, Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said that the third national car should be capable of hybridisation or even electric vehicles. This will boost the expertise of our local engineering and develop new local vendors who are able to supply advanced high voltage parts.

National Car will encompass six criteria:
