On November 14 2025, Malaysia launched the region’s first electric vehicle (EV) battery passport standard, MS 2018

Similar to initiatives under the European DDP for battery industry, MS 2818 will serve as a digital record of the EV battery lifecycle, from production to disposal. It is intended to support transparency, sustainability, and traceability across the entire EV supply chain.
