During the 2022 outlook media conference, Perodua’s president and CEO, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said the government has approached Perodua about an EV. He said, “We are now studying together with our partner – Daihatsu. We understand the requirements and targets by the government – they’re talking about carbon neutrality by 2050.” He also elaborated that EV in this context includes hybrid electric and full electric vehicles, with the former coming first. A roadmap with more details on these vehicles will be shown soon.
