The Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), with support from the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) and Tourism Malaysia, recently officiated the ASEAN Unity Drive 2025 (AUD 2025) Flag-Off Ceremony.

This 9,000 KM journey across nine ASEAN countries is set to promote sustainable mobility.  The convoy was flagged-off at Menara MITI by MITI Minister, YB Senator Tengku Datuk Zafrul Aziz.

The two-month journey which is meant to highlight Malaysia’s leadership in green mobility, cross-border collaboration and automotive innovation is set to conclude at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 (MAS 2025) which will be held from May 9 to 15, 2025.

According to Tengku Zafrul, “AUD 2025 showcases ASEAN’s strength in sustainable mobility, economic integration, and environmental stewardship.”

He also added, “Malaysia, through initiatives like the ASEAN Automotive Institute Alliance, is shaping a unified mobility ecosystem that accelerates innovation and harmonizes standards.”

As ASEAN Chair in 2025, Malaysia leads the region’s transition to green mobility. The Proton e.MAS 7, the official AUD 2025 vehicle, symbolizes the nation’s commitment to electric mobility and ASEAN’s sustainability goals.
