Which types of vehicles are covered by the new diesel subsidy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Company-owned jeeps and pick-up trucks are now covered by the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS).

Applications for the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) have been opened for company-owned private vehicles, specifically including jeeps and pick-up trucks, within the land transport sector. This expansion of eligibility aims to provide diesel subsidies to registered micro and small businesses operating as sole proprietorships and partnerships. Successful applicants can expect to receive the subsidy from July 15 onwards, following approval and the issuance of a fleet card.
Eligibility Criteria for Company Private Vehicles

To qualify for the SKDS, vehicles must be registered as business vehicles. This registration needs to be under the Company Private Use (AE) class/code within the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) MySikap system. Furthermore, the business itself must be officially registered either as a sole proprietorship or a partnership with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) or the relevant local authority in Sabah and Sarawak.
Target Beneficiaries of the Subsidy

The primary intention behind extending the SKDS to this category is to support registered micro and small businesses. These businesses, operating as sole proprietorships and partnerships, are identified as key beneficiaries of this diesel subsidy. The initiative seeks to alleviate some of the operational costs for these smaller enterprises.
Previous Extensions of SKDS Eligibility

This latest opening of applications for company-owned private vehicles follows previous expansions of the SKDS. The government had already extended eligibility to other segments of the land transport industry. These earlier extensions covered the public land transport sector and the consumer goods land transport sector, indicating a broader strategy to manage diesel costs within the transportation domain.
Application Process and Timeline

Eligible business owners are advised to submit their applications promptly through the MySubsidi portal, accessible at https://mysubsidi.kpdn.gov.my. The application window is now open, with successful applicants set to receive their diesel subsidy benefits starting from July 15. This timeline is contingent upon the approval of applications and the subsequent issuance of the necessary fleet card.
