Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz received the vehicles from Mercedes-Benz Malaysia CEO and president Amanda Zhang.
The initiative would allow the ministry and its agencies to experience the luxury and electric technology of Mercedes-Benz as a conduit to achieve its "Push for Net Zero" mission under NIMP 2030.
This significant step in fostering collaboration between the automotive industry and policymakers ensures that Malaysia remains at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution.
Zhang also said Mercedes-Benz is consistently pursuing a sustainable and integrated business strategy with sustainability as the guiding principle.
"We will create the preconditions for a CO2-neutral new car fleet by 2039, while the pace of transformation is determined by market conditions and the needs of our customers.
"Staying true to our strategy and commitment, Mercedes-Benz has launched the largest BEV portfolio of nine models across all our existing vehicle segments including two all-electric Mercedes-AMG models.
"This aligns with the government’s aspiration to achieve net-zero carbon emission by 2050, as outlined in the 12th Malaysia Plan.
"We are confident that with the full support from our stakeholders, we will not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also drive economic growth within the industry," said Zhang.
