Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (MODENAS) and Kolej KEDA have announced the establishment of the EV Motorcycle Industry–Academia Centre of Excellence (EV‑MIACE).
The facility is located at the Motorcycle Technology Department of Kolej KEDA in Sik, Kedah.
This initiative positions Kolej KEDA as the first institution in Kedah to develop a dedicated EV Centre of Excellence, aimed at integrating industry knowledge, technology and technical expertise into TVET education.
Exposure to EV technology
Through this collaboration, students will be introduced to MODENAS’s electric motorcycle systems.
MODENAS will also provide advisory support for the development of the teaching module, share current technology and technical expertise, and contribute learning equipment.
Students enrolled in the module will receive skills recognition and certification from MODENAS.
In the initial phase, 25 students will undergo the programme from September to December 2026 and receive MODENAS certification.
The collaboration will continue in 2027 with two short‑term courses for 60 participants.
From 2028 to 2030, Kolej KEDA aims to serve as an industrial training partner for upskilling and reskilling programmes under the Akademi Dalam Industri (ADI) scheme.
Route 77 Harley-Davidson Kuala Lumpur recently handed over three motorcycles to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for a proof‑of‑concept (POC) evaluation.
The three models involved are:
Low Rider ST
Street Glide
Pan America
The POC programme enables the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) to assess suitability, performance, handling and overall practicality, particularly for escort duties and official operations.
Set to Perform at LTdL 2026
The upcoming Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2026 will serve as an ideal real‑world environment for JSPT personnel to experience each motorcycle platform under actual operational conditions.
Their deployment throughout LTdL 2026 forms part of the POC evaluation process and does not indicate permanent adoption by PDRM.
According to the JSPT Director, findings from the POC will help the department make an objective assessment based on current operational needs.
“With LTdL taking place during the evaluation period, it provides a real‑world environment for our personnel to assess these motorcycles in genuine riding and operational conditions.”
This initiative also reflects the collaboration between the private sector and PDRM in evaluating motorcycle platforms and technologies that may support the evolving requirements of traffic operations and escort duties.

On 10 September, Pro‑Net handed over three Proton e.MAS vehicles to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
The three units comprise the Proton e.MAS 5 Premium, Proton e.MAS 7 Premium, and Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV Premium Plus.
Real‑world capability assessment
PDRM will deploy all three vehicles to evaluate usability, practicality, and charging requirements in real operational conditions.
This initiative will provide clearer insights into how well electric vehicles align with the force’s operational needs.
Throughout the evaluation period, Gentari will also provide complimentary charging services.
Proton Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Ir. Abdul Rashid bin Musa, said the joint evaluation with PDRM is an important opportunity to observe how e.MAS vehicles perform in real‑world scenarios, offering a more comprehensive experience than a standard test drive.
“With three models (e.MAS 5, e.MAS 7, and e.MAS 7 PHEV), PDRM will be able to experience the differences between each electric powertrain option and assess their performance and suitability based on operational requirements,” he said.
The evaluation aims to help PDRM understand how EV and PHEV technologies fit the needs of its fleet.

Leapmotor C10 entered the Malaysian market about two years ago.
At first, it was a brand unfamiliar to many, but today it is steadily becoming a popular choice among Malaysians seeking a practical mode of transportation.
The model received an update in 2025, featuring faster AC charging capability and the addition of a tire‑pressure monitoring system.
For the 2026 model year, Leapmotor Malaysia has announced the arrival of a new variant — the C10 Plus — with more significant upgrades.
Here is our review after being given the opportunity to test‑drive both C10 variants.
Exterior
From the outside, there aren’t many differences between the two models.
The design is soft and minimalist, without aggressive body lines, but enhanced with stylish 20‑inch wheels.
Flush door handles give the C10 a cleaner appearance, though their operation may not be pleasant for some users.
Interior
With its large dimensions, the C10 can be considered a multi‑purpose vehicle even though it does not come with a three‑row seating configuration.
With a wheelbase of 2,825 mm, the Leapmotor C10 offers a spacious cabin, especially for second‑row passengers.
Headroom also feels generous thanks to the large panoramic glass roof.
If the sunlight becomes too harsh, the glass roof can be covered using the built‑in sunshade.
The use of Oeko‑Tex 100 silicone leather upholstery makes the seats soft and comfortable throughout the journey.
No worries because the material is water‑resistant and non‑toxic, making it safe for young children.
NVH performance is also commendable, with wind and tire noise well‑suppressed.
This green C10 unit comes with a bright Criollo Brown interior finish with premium‑looking.
If you prefer something less prone to visible dirt, the C10 Plus offers a black upholstery option.
Another advantage of the C10 is its large cargo space.
The 435‑litre boot can expand up to 1,410 litres when the second‑row seats are folded flat.
Cockpit Layout
Simplicity is nice but when it becomes too simple, it can be inconvenient.
That’s exactly how we felt when entering the C10’s cockpit.
Being accustomed to dashboards filled with physical buttons, the minimalist layout felt strange at first.
Almost all essential functions are buried inside the infotainment screen:
air‑flow direction
temperature adjustment
headlight settings
side‑mirror adjustments
Fortunately, the menu interface is easy to use and not cluttered like some more expensive cars.
Unfortunately, the Leapmotor C10 still does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The C10 Plus introduced this year also lacks these features.
Another thing you must learn and remember: before driving, you must scan the card‑shaped key on the centre console.
This must be done each time before pulling the gear selector into Drive.
Driving Experience
The standard Leapmotor C10 uses a single rear‑wheel‑drive electric motor producing 215 hp and 320 Nm.
The C10 Plus receives an upgrade to an 800V electrical architecture, with a more powerful motor delivering 299 hp and 360 Nm.
On paper, the numbers look strong — but in real‑world driving, the C10’s acceleration is not as aggressive as many EVs on the market.
It’s not slow, but its power delivery is clearly tuned for passenger comfort.
Smooth power on the highway allows the SUV to reach overtaking speeds easily.
Dunlop e‑Sport Maxx tires ensure good grip, supported by a comfortable suspension setup that isn’t overly firm.
Steering tuning is decent, though not responsive enough in situations that demand sharper control.
One concern from our earlier test drive returned: the “empty” brake feel.
At high speeds, the braking system works fine.
But at low speeds in urban areas, the pedal feels like it has no bite point making it hard for the driver to judge braking force.
Even with its stronger performance, the C10 Plus still inherits the same brake characteristics.
Driving Range
The C10 is equipped with a 69.9 kWh battery offering 424 km WLTP range.
With DC fast charging up to 84 kW, the battery can be charged from 30–80% in just 30 minutes.
The C10 Plus comes with a larger 81.9 kWh battery, offering 510 km WLTP range.
It also supports DC fast charging up to 180 kW, reducing charging time to 22 minutes.
Safety
The Leapmotor C10 features Level 2 ADAS, including adaptive cruise control, lane‑centering, forward‑collision warning, and more.
These systems aim to ensure safer driving on the road.
Based on our experience, the SUV is actually enjoyable to drive.
However, in certain situations, interventions from systems like Emergency Lane Keeping Assist (ELKA) and Lane Centering Control (LCC) can make the drive suddenly feel less confident.
These systems act a bit aggressively when correcting steering input, making driving more tiring than usual.
Worse still, some functions that were previously turned off will automatically reactivate every time the car is restarted.
We would prefer if the system remembered the driver’s settings from the start, without needing to adjust them every time.
Fixed Weaknesses
One of the most disliked aspects was the inconvenient method of unlocking the car.
Before entering, the driver must scan the NFC key on the right‑side mirror housing.
This becomes troublesome when you want to place items on the left rear seat — you still need to scan the card on the same side every time.
With the mobile app, owners can now use their smartphone to unlock the car from any direction.
In the latest update, both new and existing Leapmotor owners can obtain a physical key fob, eliminating reliance on the NFC card.
However, the mandatory routine before driving remains: you still need to scan the card on the centre console before pulling the gear selector. Hmm…
Conclusion
After test‑driving both the Leapmotor C10 and C10 Plus, it’s clear that this electric SUV is designed to be practical, comfortable, and family‑friendly.
It offers a spacious cabin, good NVH performance, quality interior materials, and a comfortable suspension setup.
That is if you don’t mind quirks like the unsatisfying brake feel, slightly aggressive ADAS behaviour, and the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
With prices starting from RM125,000 for the locally assembled (CKD) version, the Leapmotor C10 is a worthwhile EV to consider.
If you want faster charging capability and longer driving range, the C10 Plus is the answer — priced from RM129,000.

Sika, a leading Swiss-based specialty chemicals company and a global supplier of windscreen bonding solutions, staged Malaysia’s first exclusive live windscreen crash test at the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) PC3 Laboratory in Melaka.
The test demonstrated that a windscreen is structurally bonded to the vehicle body to strengthen the cabin and protect occupants in a crash, and that the wrong adhesive or poor workmanship can compromise that protection. The event is recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the First Automotive Windscreen Crash Test Evaluation 2026 in Malaysia.
For the demonstration, a passenger car was crashed at MIROS PC3 in Ayer Molek, the national full-scale crash test laboratory in Melaka that is also used for ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) testing. The vehicle was run into a frontal barrier at 48 km/h, replicating a real-world collision to show how a correctly bonded windscreen holds in place and keeps the airbag and cabin working as designed. The windscreen supports the airbag as it inflates, helps keep occupants inside the vehicle and reinforces the roof in a rollover.
“A windscreen is a safety component, yet it is often replaced on price and speed alone. What matters just as much is the adhesive used and the standard of the installation, because those are what keep the glass in place when it is needed most. We chose to show this in a live crash rather than explain it on paper, so there is no doubt about how much the quality of a replacement matters,” said Daphne Wong, Head of Automotive & Industry, Sika Malaysia.
Poor installation carries real risk. A windscreen fitted with the wrong adhesive or before the bond has cured can detach in a collision, and Malaysia’s hot, humid climate shortens an adhesive’s working time, which makes skilled fitting matter even more. Sika runs a Certified Auto Glass Installer Program in Malaysia, training local workshops to fit windscreens to its standards.
In Malaysia, more than 400,000 cars are installed with Sika windscreen adhesive every year. The live crash test used SikaTack DRIVE, Sika’s automotive glass replacement adhesive with superior application properties. It offers a 60-minute Minimum Drive Away Time (MDAT) and has been tested with 95th percentile crash test dummies against the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 212, an international benchmark that measures whether a bonded windscreen stays in place during a crash rather than being pushed out, which is what allows it to support the airbag and the roof.
Sika has been bonding windscreens for the automotive industry since 1980 and helped establish the industry’s safe drive-away time standards. Over the past four decades it has conducted more than 80 crash tests to verify passenger safety after windscreen replacement.
Alongside the crash test, Sika is running the Sika Certified Auto Glass Installer Campaign, which encourages car owners to choose a certified workshop for a safe windscreen replacement. Sika’s certified installers work exclusively with Sika windscreen adhesives and follow a continuous training and certification programme.
From 15 September to 31 December 2026, customers who have their windscreen replaced at a certified workshop can enter a monthly lucky draw by submitting a photo of the workshop’s Sika Certified Auto Glass Installer signboard together with their receipt to Sika Malaysia. Three winners are drawn each month, each receiving a petrol card worth RM100.
