KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 (Bernama) -- The first outcome of the National Automotive Policy 2014 (NAP 2014) can be seen in two months with the issuing of a manufacturing licence to a major car maker manufacturing Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) for the regional market, International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said. NAP Impact To Be Seen in Two Months The licence is one of three targeted to be issued by year-end under the NAP 2014. “This is in line with the government’s aspiration to become an EEV hub in the region, along with increasing our automotive exports,” Mustapa said at the launching of the NAP 2014 Roadmaps. Providing guidelines to industry stakeholders, Mustapa said the six roadmaps would ensure effective implementation of the measures outlined in the NAP 2014. “These roadmaps will enhance the capability and competitiveness of the local automotive industry,” he said. The roadmaps launched were: 1. Malaysia Automotive Technology Roadmap (MATR); BERNAMA, February 7, 2014 2. Malaysia Automotive Supply Chain Development Roadmap (MASR); 3. Malaysia Automotive Human Capital Development Roadmap (MAHR); 4. Malaysia Automotive Remanufacturing Roadmap (MARR); 5. Malaysia Automotive Bumiputera Development Roadmap (MABR); and 6. Development of Automotive Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATF) Framework. All the roadmaps will be under the supervision of MITI, with the Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) as the agency to coordinate, implement and monitor programmes outlined under these roadmaps. During the launch the Minister also witnessed the exchange of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among MAI, Arca Corporation Sdn Bhd, AutoCRC Ltd and Swinburne University of Technology. The cooperation would see the research, development, commercialisation and manufacture of electric buses, lithium ion batteries and Public Transportation Information System (PTIS) for fleet management. The MoU, an extension to the existing cooperation under the Malaysia Australia Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA), would see investment in excess of RM200 million. Arca Corporation executive chairman Datuk Che Azizuddin Che Ismail said the electric bus prototype is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, with commercialisation taking another year. The electric bus system would be first implemented in Putrajaya and Langkawi before expanding to Greater KL and other parts of the region, Che Azizuddin said.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 (Bernama) -- The first outcome of the National Automotive Policy 2014 (NAP 2014) can be seen in two months with the issuing of a manufacturing licence to a major car maker manufacturing Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) for the regional market, International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said.
NAP Impact To Be Seen in Two Months
The licence is one of three targeted to be issued by year-end under the NAP 2014.
“This is in line with the government’s aspiration to become an EEV hub in the region, along with increasing our automotive exports,” Mustapa said at the launching of the NAP 2014 Roadmaps.
Providing guidelines to industry stakeholders, Mustapa said the six roadmaps would ensure effective implementation of the measures outlined in the NAP 2014.
“These roadmaps will enhance the capability and competitiveness of the local automotive industry,” he said.
The roadmaps launched were:

Launching of National Automotive Policy (2014) Roadmaps To ensure that the measures outlined in the NAP 2014 are effectively implemented; several roadmaps for the development of domestic automotive industry have drawn up.
These roadmaps will provide guidelines to industry stakeholders. The roadmaps include:
i. Malaysia Automotive Technology Roadmap (MATR)
The MATR details out the latest green technology trends and outlook. The roadmap also includes the rationalization guidelines for the automotive industry tax structure.
ii. Malaysia Automotive Supply Chain Development Roadmap (MASR)
The Supply Chain Development Roadmap aims to continuously enhance the operational effectiveness and efficiency of the components and spare parts manufacturers. The roadmap consists of measures to improve quality management systems, operation and business managements well as to enhance capability in product testing and validation.
iii. Malaysia Automotive Human Capital Development Roadmap (MAHR)
The Human Capital Development Roadmap outlines a plan for developing competent and adequate workforce at all levels within the automotive industry. This roadmap also focuses on improving the quality of existing programme for technicians and operators at the local training institutions. This roadmap also includes plans to develop specific local skilled manpower in product automation and manufacturing of hybrid components, engine and transmissions systems.
iv. Malaysia Automotive Remanufacturing Roadmap (MARR)
The Remanufacturing roadmap outlines detailed criteria of remanufacturing, standards and best practices to be adopted by the automotive players to make Malaysia as the centre of automotive remanufacturing in ASEAN. The roadmap also provides guidelines to optimize recyclability and recoverability levels of used components.
v. Malaysia Automotive Bumiputera Development Roadmap (MABR)
The roadmap focuses on activities related to development of technology, human capital and supply chain to enhance the competitiveness of the Bumiputera companies in the domestic automotive industry. This initiative is in line with the Government’s efforts to create globally competitive Bumiputera entrepreneurs.
vi. Development of Automotive Authorized Treatment Facilities (ATF) Framework
The ATF framework serves as a guideline to transform the automotive after-market businesses in the effort to develop a complete automotive industry that is sustainable.
These roadmaps will be under the supervision of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) will coordinate and implement programmes as outlined.
Exchange of the Memorandum of Understanding on manufacturing of Electric Bus and Lithium Ion Battery.
At an official ceremony held today after the launch of the National Automotive Policy 2014 Roadmaps, Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI), ARCA Corporation Sdn Bhd, AutoCRC Ltd and Swinburne University of Technology exchanged the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the development and manufacturing of Electric Bus, Lithium Ion Battery and Public Transportation Information System (PTIS).
The MoU is an extension to the existing cooperation between Malaysia and Australia under the Malaysia Australia Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA). This cooperation will see the research, development and commercialisation in 3 major areas.
i. Lithium Ion Battery systems for electric vehicles;Phase I : Development of Advanced Electrode and
Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries. Phase II : Battery Charge, Mechanical and Thermal
Management System Development. Phase III : Lithium Ion Battery Module Packaging and
Testing. Phase IV : Commercialization and production ready
battery manufacturing process and equipment.
Phase V : Next Generation Battery Technology Roadmap.
Phase VI : Next Generation Battery Research and Development.
ii. Electric Bus – Development of modular EV driveline systems for bus application;
Phase I : E-Bus driveline demonstrator - Integration of electric drivetrain, lithium battery and control systems
Phase II : Subsystem and supplier development of E-Bus driveline.
Phase III : Business model development for manufacturing readiness.
iii. Public Transportation Information System (PTIS) suitable for fleet management.
It is anticipated that the total investment by collaborators in commercialising this next generation transport technology will be in excess of RM 120million over 4 years, with commercial release of products beginning in Q2 2014.
This is a strategic and adaptive engagement and technology development programme involving government and private sectors in Malaysia and Australia. It serves as a platform to expedite investment into the country toward supporting Malaysia’s automotive technology roadmap, specifically in electric vehicle development.
