@nstonline: #BTTV Malaysia's electric vehicle (EV) policy has become more decisive with the government seeking to ensure the shift towards electric mobility translates into local assembly, technology transfer and a stronger domestic supply chain. This is rather than simply making the country a larger market for imported vehicles, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association's (MAA) top executive. The challenge is becoming more pressing as Thailand and other Asean countries compete aggressively for EV investments, forcing Malaysia to strike a balance between attracting automakers and requiring them to create deeper local value. #BTTV #Malaysianews #EV
