Today's news of a soon-to-be reformed road tax structure for electric vehicles (EVs) should bring respite to current and would-be owners of such cars. Rightly that will renew some interest; and if you're one of them, here's where you can check out the upcoming 2023 Peugeot e-2008 EV in Malaysia this week. It will be part of Bermaz Auto Alliance's Peugeot roadshow in 1 Utama, taking place from 17- to 25-May 2023, from 10 am-10 pm at the mall's Luxe Concourse in its new wing. Joining the e-2008 wi

In early October, MMM Chief Executive Officer Tomoyuki Shinnishi officially handed over a Mitsubishi Triton to Dignity Farm that will be used for the farm’s daily operations, and to commute the Orang Asli to schools where they are given transformative youth education programs grounded i

2020 has been quite the rollercoaster, hasn’t it? It was a quiet first half - no thanks to Covid-19 - and now we’re getting a barrage of cars we’ve been waiting for: the Nissan Almera and Honda City, among others. If you’re in the B-segment sedan market, you may have noticed a distinct lack of news on the Toyota Vios. Last we heard of it was during its refresh in the Philippines but it got completely eclipsed by the City and Almera after that. That was until recently, when UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT
