Malaysia Set to Phase Out NGV Vehicles by July 2025 – MoT
NGV vehicles will no longer be allowed to be registered or used on Malaysian roads from July 1, 2025 onwards.
Malaysian natural gas vehicle (NGV) owners, heads up. The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has just announced that NGV vehicles will no longer be allowed to be registered or used on Malaysian roads from July 1, 2025 onwards. According to its minister, YB Anthony Loke, the decision to phase out NGVs in Malaysia was made by the Cabinet earlier in Oct this year, citing safety concerns over their use.
According to the ministry, a total of 44,383 NGV vehicles are currently registered under the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) record, which comprises 32,137 privately owned vehicles, 9,509 taxis, 2,150 buses and lorries, and 587 heavy machinery. Despite these large figures, the ministry insisted that NGVs only make about 0.2% of the total motor vehicles registered in Malaysia, excluding motorcycles.

In order to prepare for this phase out, national petroleum company Petronas will begin halting the sales of NGV fuel at its stations in stages, with the process set to be completed later in July 2025, the official statement reads.

More importantly, the ministry also announced several assistance packages for eligible NGV vehicle owners in order to help them transition to petrol vehicles. The first package exclusively covers NGV taxis registered to the Land Transport Agency (APAD) by Oct 1, where eligible owners will receive a one-off Setel e-voucher worth RM3,000. Application for this one-off voucher payment will be closed on Dec 31, 2024.
Meanwhile, the second package is exclusively for dual-fuel NGV vehicle owners, where they can get their NGV kit removed for free at any appointed workshops selected by the ministry. It is also important to note that these vehicles must be registered with the JPJ before Oct 1, with applications currently open until the end of this year.
Finally, the third package is for pure NGV-powered vehicle owners, where they will be eligible for a one-off payment based on the current value of their vehicles, which will be appraised by an independent evaluator.
