Perodua to pursue less expensive technology

Perodua, Kuala Lumpur’s top car seller, will pursue cheaper green technologies with its technological partner Daihatsu to produce affordable plus environmentally riendly compact cars. Managing Director Aminar Rashid Salleh told Bernama that Perodua was pursuing the metal-free liquid feed cell technology as the current green technologies were too expensive. Under its five-year green roadmap, it will use the new precious metal-free liquid feed fuel cell (PmfLFC) technology. “The first stage is in the works right now, and the development would hit the market anytime in the next two to three years,” he said.
