Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) and Next Generation Vehicle (NxGV) Voluntary Labelling
Overview
'EEV Labels:
- Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) Label allows buyers to compare the fuel economy and electric energy consumption of one vehicle against another.
- The EEV certified vehicles are environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient with low or no emissions, including Internal combustion Engine vehicles (ICE), hybrid vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV).
- The EEV label comprises of information like model name, fuel consumption, electric energy consumption, electric range and a QR code that can be scanned to obtain vehicle information.
EEV Label applies to vehicles with low emissions and high fuel efficiency, including ICE, HEV, PHEV, and BEV models.
NxGV Label identifies EEV-certified vehicles integrated with autonomous capabilities, starting from Level 1 automation.
470,880
units of EEV labels on vehicles (2024)
418,987
units of EEV labels on vehicles
(Jan-Aug 2025)
Objectives
EEV label:
- To raise public awareness on fuel efficiency of vehicles as to accelerate the uptake of low-emission vehicles and create a sustainable society;
- To increase the market competitiveness amongst industry players while conforming to the Environmental Regulations; and
- To align with Malaysia’s commitment in reducing the carbon emission intensity by 45% by 2030, as outlined by then UNFCCC under the Paris Agreement.
NxGV label:
- To raise public awareness on vehicles that is EEV (fuel efficiency of vehicles as to accelerate the uptake of low-emission vehicles) with Autonomous minimum of Level 3;
- To increase the market competitiveness amongst industry players while conforming to the Environmental Regulations and Standards; and
- To align with Malaysia’s commitment towards the development of the Mobility ecosystem by establishing the high innovative companies, talents and experts in AACV related technology and to bridge the collaboration between Government-Industry-Academia; and
- To further enhance the AACV technology which will drive the industry growth towards the implementation of Connected Mobility Vision (CMV).
