Daihatsu and Perodua discuss electric vehicle collaboration
Daihatsu and Perodua are exploring a potential collaboration to develop electric vehicle (EV) models in Malaysia. The discussions surfaced following a meeting between Malaysian Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Johari Abdul Ghani and Japanese Deputy Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Takuo Komori.
While no official agreement has been announced, the partnership is notable because Perodua has independently developed the QV-E, an electric vehicle platform that does not rely on Daihatsu technology. This shift could allow Daihatsu to utilize Perodua’s existing EV platform to enter the electric market more efficiently, potentially rebranding or refining the QV-E for its own brand.
Such a collaboration could impact the broader ASEAN automotive landscape, potentially leading to more affordable electric vehicle options in regional markets, including Indonesia.
