Abstract

Some people may wonder what are 'green vehicles'? 'Green vehicles' is defined as Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) which produce minimal, if not zero, harmful impact to the environment and have the most efficient power with the lowest fuel consumption. This article discusses the importance of EEV in view of the CO2 emission requirement and shall consider whether Malaysia should have its own driving cycle since many developed countries including Japan, Europe and US have already developed theirs.
