While Thailand will get the facelifted HR-V this 12 months, we might need to attend longer because the B-segment model isn’t expected to reach until next yr. Honda Malaysia has already confirmed it’s going to launch two models this 12 months, with certainly one of them being the facelifted City Hatchback that went on sale right here in May. The Civic is tipped to be the second model as a end result of its global debut occurred earlier in January, two months ahead of the HR-V. By the greatest automotive news way, the present JPJePlate value of RM98 per set of front/rear plates and the windshield sticker, is very reasonable considering the tech and embossing. A set of basic plastic plates already price round RM60 in the Klang Valley and we’ve seen accent outlets charge as a lot as RM300 for custom plates. While the federal government has made it very clear that JPJePlate is the future, implementation for EVs is just step one and no timeline was shared.
Such a model might be employed when JPJePlate reaches the mainstream – necessary for ICE vehicles registered after the introduced date, with a ‘transition period’ for all different cars on the highway to modify. The roads would look funny though, with a mixture of black and white plates. However, at some point JPJePlate will have to be made obligatory for all, particularly if ANPR and MLFF are to be implemented nationwide. This week, the federal government launched particular plates for electric automobiles – distinctive white background plates with Euro-style fonts and an identifier strip on the left facet.
