Perodua teased its Electric Vehicle in a half-cut form, which showcased its capabilities in design and production at the Malaysian Autoshow 2025 (MAS 2025).
The updated display is the final episode to the national carmaker’s EV journey highlighting the interior as well as inner workings of the prototype. Visitors can also have a brief experience of a simulated drive of this prototype.
“Our display highlights our Malaysia’s capabilities in adopting assimilate EV technologies as our own,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
He said that Perodua’s display booth at the MAS 2025 highlights various initiatives done by Perodua to promote electrification in the country.
Perodua also showcased two other displays at MAS 2025, that would be of interest to you. The displays are the X06E, which is a collaboration between Perodua and Politeknik Muadzam Shah to develop our own HEV/BEV working prototype.
“This collaboration proves that our technical students are capable of producing such technologies. For Perodua, it is our mission to grow the automotive ecosystem to transfer knowledge to all Malaysians.
“We actively contribute to nation-building trough such activities so that we all can benefit,” he said.
In terms of advancing green technology, Perodua has also introduced Emerald Horizon, an Austrian-based company to develop an alternative energy source with the use of thorium (a rare earth element).
“Hopefully this development will provide an alternative method to reduce dependence on electricity generated by fossil fuel. This method of generating electricity through a rare earth material would help in reducing our carbon footprint and we see that this method would add to our clean energy usage in the future.
“Currently, Perodua also use solar energy to partly power its plants as well as natural gas as it strives to meet its carbon neutral target by 2050.
“We welcome all Malaysia to visit our booth at the MAS 2025 to experience and see where we are headed. We hope that you can follow us on our journey moving forward,” he said.
