VEP Application Requirements for Cars with Dual Fuel Systems

Ensure your petrol + electric vehicle is correctly classified for a compliant and hassle-free VEP application.

Understanding Dual Fuel Systems and VEP

For JPJ’s VEP system, the correct fuel type classification for dual fuel vehicles is essential because it affects enforcement records, environmental category tagging, and compliance with Malaysia’s emissions regulations.

VEP Requirements Specific to Dual Fuel Cars

When applying for a VEP for a hybrid or dual fuel vehicle, you’ll need:

  • Accurate Fuel Type Declaration: Your vehicle’s log card must state “Petrol/Electric” or the relevant dual fuel type.
  • Proof of Ownership or Authorisation: Include authorisation letters if the car is leased or company-owned.
  • Insurance Covering Malaysia: Ensure your policy is valid and covers cross-border use.
  • Clear VIN & Engine Number Records: Both powertrain IDs must match your official documents.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Listing only “Petrol” instead of “Petrol/Electric” in the application.
  • Submitting insurance that doesn’t specify coverage for Malaysia.
  • Entering mismatched VIN or chassis numbers between documents and the VEP form.
  • Overlooking special documentation for modified vehicles.
