In a decisive move to support Malaysia’s transition toward a low-carbon economy, Leapmotor Malaysia has officially handed over two units of its fully electric Leapmotor C10 to the Ministry of Transport (MOT). The symbolic ceremony, held during the Majlis Penyerahan Kenderaan EV Kepada Kementerian Pengangkutan, underscores a shared vision between Leapmotor and the Malaysian Government to accelerate sustainable mobility and green innovation.

This initiative aligns closely with the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021–2030, Malaysia’s strategic roadmap for decarbonising the land transport sector. The LCMB sets ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as a cornerstone of the nation’s sustainability agenda.

As part of a three-month testing and operational evaluation programme, MOT will assess the Leapmotor C10’s performance, practicality, and integration into Malaysia’s transport ecosystem. Insights from this programme will play a pivotal role in shaping future EV infrastructure development, policy formulation, and nationwide EV adoption across public and private sectors.

“This collaboration reflects our shared determination to accelerate Malaysia’s green mobility agenda,” said a Leapmotor representative, adding that the effort also strengthens the nation’s position as a forward-thinking leader in sustainable transportation.

The Leapmotor C10, now priced from RM125,000, offers exceptional value by delivering D-segment features at a C-segment price point. Among the latest upgrades are:

  • Enhanced Charging Capability: A new 11 kW on-board charger (OBC) replaces the previous 6.6 kW unit, cutting 30%-80% charging time from six hours to just four.
  • Added Storage & Convenience: Includes a 32-litre front trunk (‘frunk’) and a boot tonneau cover for better cargo security.
  • Safety & Practicality: A new Direct Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and motorised tyre inflator kit.

Inside, the C10 boasts refreshed interior options with Black and Camel Brown upholstery, retaining premium OEKO-Tex Standard 100® baby-friendly silicone textiles. Peace of mind comes standard, with a 6-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty (whichever comes first).
