NMB as catalyst to JPJ’s new EV conversion guidelines as a clear, cost-effective route to sustainable mobility in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- NMB is proud to reaffirm its role as the initiator and catalyst in driving the development of the ICE to EV Conversion White Paper, in close collaboration with Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) and other key stakeholders. Endorsed under the National Electric Vehicle Task Force (NEVTF), this effort served as baseline and has directly led to the drafting and formalisation of Malaysia’s EV conversion guidelines recently published by JPJ. NMB regards this achievement as an important national milestone and a clear policy success, reflecting a significant step forward in establishing an accessible, safe, transparent and localised technological pathway for EV conversion in Malaysia. As the nation’s lead agency for nanotechnology commercialisation, EV and hydrogen technology industrial development under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), NMB collaborated with JPJ to formalise standards that ensure converted EVs meet stringent performance and battery safety criteria. The issuance of these guidelines also marks a significant milestone for NMB, which has been actively contributing to the development of national EV-conversion standards. Working alongside relevant ministries, regulators, and industry stakeholders, NMB has submitted technical white papers, presented safety frameworks, and tested conversion technologies to help localise global best practices for Malaysia’s unique conditions.
