Hybrid/EV perks to continue says, govt

PASIR MAS: The government will continue to give special incentives to electric, hybrid and environment friendly cars assembled in the country.

Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir said among them were tax exemptions so that these cars could be affordable for the people from all levels of society.

"To date, several companies have applied to assemble environment friendly cars but the government understands that they are still in the process of setting up capacities.

"These incentives are supposed to be there until end of this year but we might continue to give them for next year ...to that these companies are able to set up their vehicle manufacturing plants as soon as possible," he said after officiating the 41st annual general meeting of the Sultan Ibrahim 1 Secondary School here Monday.

Mukhriz said the government would also at the same time seriously consider applications from conventional car producers for the production of vehicles that emit less carbon monoxide and with lower fuel consumption.

Incentives will be also given to such vehicles which are capable of competing with electric and hybrid cars, he said.

On complaints that hybrid cars presently sold were still costly, Mukhriz hoped that these cars could be sold at more affordable prices once the producers are able to set up plants locally with the given tax incentives.

Just got keys to my Insight today... now playing w/the menu and customizations

Qs to other INS owners - can we change the auto door lock setting so that it auto locks when the car starts/when it drives above XX km/h?

I checked the manual - this "auto door lock" function only seems available w/the "south africa" Insight model. The instructions to enable auto door lock doesn't work for me...

anyone know?

congrats, what color? malaysian version no auto door lock function one

mine is white... got it tinted (LLumar T4-50... charcoal black, 90% IR rejection) already. this wkend gonna get it PPS-ed

so far so good. lots of stuff to modify... (i will get my mechanic to enable the door auto-lock for me - he's a master technician @ rewiring stuff), will do that after 1st service

What tyre pressure you guys running on your tyres?

went to see my SA today..handing over my pre-registered car no. But suddenly got not so good news. i still have to wait till next month (not in 2 weeks) to get my lovely hybrid. anyway still ok since i suppose to get my car in July.

Spend time to borak2 with him. my SA told me the auto door lock will void warranty and is not recommendable. he also recommend Cobra Connex which i think good investment.

oh ya..i also order trunk tray together with my car. anyone bought tis trunk tray. ori one price RM400++? Local one also available at Rm300++ (package beta too pricey for me).

So far only Mardzi, Orbclyne and me have this "problem", well, it might not be a problem, hopefully.

You guys can try, turn off the radio, air cond speed at the lowest, then you accelerate and see if you hear any grinding sound or not. I only notice this after my first service last week, hope its normal. I am not sure if its from the motor, but it sound like grinding or something spinning.

My ride now very comfortable, quiet and soft after reduce the pressure from 315kpa to 230kpa front and 220kpa rear, I suggest you guys to do the same if you don't mind sacrifice a little bit of FC and tyre wear. Running too high tyre pressure may cause your dashboard, door trims' clips looses which may result possible rattles in the near future.

ic. u are fast hand fast leg man.

u means the auto lock feature already incorporated into the car, just not activated only?

Added on April 18, 2011, 9:19 pmi would think the price of beta package is more worthwhile since it includes trunk tray etc? if u say one trunk tray so ex rm400++?

1110-400 = 710 for other item i.e: foot light, side step garnish and sport pedal..
i think ur rite la..should look for cheaper one (after market). so anyone know where to get?

Yes it was 315kpa front and 310kpa rear and I was shocked too. I think this may explain the superb FC and harsh ride for the past 2 weeks.

superb FC??

T_T... this thur get my insight... tak boleh tahan liao.. hahahaha

ei... i see someone say configure to auto-lock wil void warranty??? serious???
