-full-(2)-full_normal.jpg)
Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad confirmed that the government intends to convert its fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) this year, Malay Mail reported.
He stated that the transition would start on a small scale due to financial considerations.
"Last year, the government announced the transition. I believe the government's fleet will transition to EVs very soon," he said following the soft launch of the International Greentech and Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

"However, due to the large size of the fleet and the financial implications, it will not be implemented completely.
When asked for a specific timeline for implementation, he replied, "We have to double-check, but it will begin this year."

In other news, utility giant Tenaga Nasional Bhd has announced its commitment to a rapid and responsible energy transition, aiming to electrify 30% of its operational fleet by 2030, which includes over 1,000 vehicles.
This strategic initiative, according to its president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Baharin Din, is in line with Malaysia's ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
Following investments exceeding RM170 million by various companies in the local EV sector, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced on October 13 that the government was set to introduce EVs as official cars in Budget 2024.
Anwar highlighted the government's efforts to prolong the four-year individual income tax relief of up to RM2,500 on EV charging facility expenses.

He said that for an additional two years, these people would also be eligible for tax deductions for their EV rental expenses.
