A camouflaged Proton eMAS 7 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) test vehicle has been spotted on Malaysian roads. The prototype features wheel designs matching the international Geely Starray EX5 EM-i, suggesting a powertrain comprising a 1.5L naturally-aspirated engine and electric motor, paired with an 18.4kWh battery pack for 84km WLTP electric range and 943km combined range. Proton registered the eMAS 7 PHEV trademark last year, potentially marking the brand's first PHEV with pure electric driving capability.

Honda will debut the sixth-generation StepWGN e:HEV mid-size MPV at Thailand's Motor Expo on November 28. Imported as CBU units from Japan, the model features a 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain delivering 184 PS electric motor output. With a 2-2-3 three-row seating layout and second-row Captain chairs, it targets the premium MPV segment. Priced around 1.22 million baht, it undercuts rivals like the Nissan Serena. Potential expansion to Malaysia would face competition from locally-assembled CKD models.

Shell Malaysia has launched the Shell Recharge App, establishing a unified platform for EV users on its charging network. The app enables credit/debit card payments, station location services, and real-time charging session monitoring. Supporting cross-border charging between Malaysia and Singapore with Thailand expansion planned, it replaces the ParkEasy integration by month-end. While operating in parallel with the existing Shell App initially, long-term integration is planned, representing a significant advancement in Shell's EV charging ecosystem strategy in Malaysia.
