The Ministry of Transport and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) in Malaysia have unveiled the JPJePlate as the new standardised number plates for vehicles in the country. This initiative comes with various benefits over the traditional acrylic number plates, such as enhanced durability, visibility, and anti-forgery features like QR codes and anti-counterfeiting foils. The JPJePlate also includes special elements like the Malaysian flag, the MAL abbreviation, and a color-coded indicator for the type of fuel a vehicle uses. The JPJePlate will be a requirement for electric vehicles (EVs), including those utilizing hydrogen fuel cells. Although there is no set deadline for existing EV owners to switch to the JPJePlate, the new plates will be mandatory for all EVs. The FAQ page on the JPJePlate website also hints at potential future expansions to include other vehicle types. While the JPJePlate is currently optional for internal combustion vehicles, interested owners can express their interest in acquiring the new plates via the official website. The set, which includes both front and rear plates along with an RFID windshield sticker, is priced at RM98. Replacement costs for individual components of the JPJePlate are also provided on the site. This move by the Malaysian authorities aims to enhance vehicle identification, promote road safety, and combat number plate fraud. The JPJePlate is a step towards modernizing vehicle registration systems and aligning with global standards in vehicle identification technology.
