Core Focus

Commercial EV distribution, zero-down lease-to-own fleet transition, CAF Connect telematics, auditable TCO and carbon data

Markets

Klang Valley · Johor · Sabah · Sarawak · MY–SG corridor

Part A — The Opportunity

Why Now

Malaysia is at a policy inflection point — fuel subsidies unwinding, carbon tax incoming, EV incentives live. Fleet operators must transition. The question is with whom.

The Policy Moment — Five Structural Tailwinds

Subsidy Unwind

RM50B in fuel subsidies being removed — raising the true cost of diesel fleets overnight

NAP 2020

National Automotive Policy incentivises local EV assembly and manufacture

NETR Targets

31% renewable capacity by 2025, rising to 70% by 2050 — EV infrastructure mandate embedded

Carbon Tax

Incoming carbon pricing creates a hard cost on diesel and a revenue line for verified reductions

GITA / GITE

Green Investment Tax Allowance and Green Income Tax Exemption extended for ESG-aligned technology

Strategic Thesis

NEV is not a car retailer. It is an operations-first fleet electrification platform — vehicles, financing, telematics, after-sales and carbon data in one auditable stack. The buyer is a fleet operator with a P&L problem; the product is lower total cost of ownership.

The Malaysian Commercial Vehicle Market

Total commercial vehicle industry volume projected to grow from ~82,880 units (2025) to ~112,757 units (2029). Overall TIV rising from ~895,699 to ~1.2M units. Commercial fleets are the highest-utilisation, fastest-payback EV segment in Malaysia.

Commercial Vehicle TIV Forecast (2025–2029)

Market Trajectory

Commercial vehicle volume grows at a ~8% CAGR through 2029, outpacing passenger TIV growth.

NEV targets a market share rise from 3.62% to 10.90% of commercial TIV by 2029 — achievable via the multi-OEM catalogue and dealer network.

The Fleet Gap — A Market Without a Credible Solution

Logistics, delivery and construction operators remain locked on diesel. Three converging forces are squeezing them:

Rising Fuel Costs

Subsidy removal drives true diesel cost to market rates — directly eroding fleet operating margins

Carbon Reporting

Incoming mandatory Scope 1 & 2 disclosure and MNC customer ESG mandates require verified reduction data

No Credible EV Path

Almost no operator has been offered a financed, supported, fully-serviced route to fleet electrification in Malaysia

Four Barriers — and How NEV Removes Each

The ASEAN Right-Hand-Drive Opportunity

Malaysia is the natural base for RHD commercial EV assembly serving all of ASEAN. Chinese OEMs need a trusted local partner for RHD conversion, homologation and regional distribution — precisely the role NEV's joint-venture structure is built to play.

Part B — Competitive Position

Where NEV Sits on the Map

NEV's Competitive Edge

  • Multi-OEM neutrality — no franchise allegiance; the right vehicle for the customer's use case
  • Local operations depth — workshops, training, telematics already structured
  • Full-stack offer — vehicles, financing, telematics and carbon data in one auditable platform
  • Incumbents move slowly — established assemblers are late to commercial EV

Why NEV Wins — Four Structural Advantages

Supply Chain Secured

Direct relationships across multiple Chinese factories — Wuling, JAC, Foton, Shineray. No single-OEM dependency; negotiating leverage on price and allocation.

Multi-Brand Catalogue

13 models across 7 categories — matched to use case, not to a franchise. The fleet operator picks the vehicle; NEV wins either way.

Zero-Down Lease-to-Own

Removes the single biggest objection. Fleet operators transition from combustion without capital outlay; NEV captures financing margin and retains asset security.

CAF Connect Telematics

Generates the per-kilometre TCO and auditable carbon data that enterprise customers must now report — converting compliance burden into competitive advantage.

Part C — Product Portfolio

13 Models. 7 Categories.

A standardised multi-OEM catalogue engineered to cover every commercial fleet use case in Malaysia.

Part C — Platform

The Lease-to-Own Engine

Fleet operators transition from combustion without capital outlay. NEV captures financing margin and retains asset security — while every financed vehicle generates the TCO and carbon data the operator needs to report.

Data as the Moat — CAF Connect

Real-time location, battery SOC, energy consumption, driving behaviour, and operating windows. Integrates toward TMS, WMS and OMS. Output: per-kilometre cost reduction for the operator — and the auditable carbon dataset that unlocks ESG reporting and future carbon-credit monetisation via Bursa Malaysia's voluntary carbon market.

  • 60–70 identified dealer prospects in active recruitment
  • 127-dealer consignment platform already live via CASB

Corporate Pipeline

  • 150-company corporate prospect list with 15 priority targets
  • 12-contact hot list in active weekly follow-up

Confirmed Live Activity

  • A retail customer with cash deposit paid — revenue recognised
  • An EV-rental operator in structuring discussions
  • A national fleet lessor relationship via a van-supply incumbent

Sample Vehicle Strategy — Proof in Motion

Two GNEV sample vehicles landed from Shenzhen. Strategy: place working vans, trucks and mixers directly with fleet customers for operational trials — not in a showroom. Homologation applications with MITI, JPJ and Customs in progress. Capital raised will scale the demonstration fleet — the single fastest conversion tool in commercial vehicle sales.

What RM3–4M of Founder Capital Bought

This raise funds acceleration — not discovery. A secured multi-factory supply chain, validated pricing and margin position, first customers and deposits, and hard-won knowledge of what the Malaysian market will actually buy — all funded before asking for external capital.

Part E — Economics

The Numbers

Two revenue engines, clear unit economics, and a capital-efficient operating model designed for margin expansion.

Revenue Architecture — Two Primary Engines

Stream 1 — Direct Fleet Sales

To corporates, government and operators at full margin. High-value, relationship-driven, anchors profitability.

Stream 2 — Dealer Network

Commercial vans, lorries and trucks through 60–70 target dealers plus the 127-dealer CASB platform. Volume at shared margin.

Adjacent Revenue Streams

  • Financing margin — HP facility generating interest income
  • Insurance — comprehensive EV insurance at 12.5% PAT
  • After-sales — workshop and maintenance revenue
  • Telematics — CAF Connect subscription
  • Carbon credits — Verra VCS pathway via Bursa Malaysia

Unit Economics

RM123K

Avg. Acquisition Cost

Range RM118K–128K per commercial vehicle

RM30K

Direct-Sale Margin

RM10K

Dealer-Channel Margin

Per unit at higher volume through the network

80%

HP Take-Up Assumed

Financing penetration drives recurring interest income

Every additional service attached — financing, insurance, telematics, maintenance — compounds lifetime value per vehicle sold or leased.

Near-Term Revenue Plan (2026–2027)

Plan Structure

Budgeted direct sales of RM80M for 2026–2027, with RM1M in dealer commissions. High-margin direct fleet deals anchor profitability while the dealer network builds volume.

Every figure is supported by a full assumption appendix in the data room — no revenue line without a named prospect or segment basis.

Five-Year Growth Scenario

From the NEV-GCU joint-venture plan — presented as a scenario pending independent validation.

Growth Milestones

  • Production scaling 3,600 to 19,661 units
  • Dealer network 10 to 50 active dealers
  • Avg RSP RM128K–145K range
  • ASEAN markets expanding from 1 to 10 countries
  • Commercial TIV share: 3.62% → 10.90%

Adjacent Revenue Potential — The Full-Stack Multiplier

EV Trade Sales

RM324M p.a. at 4.3% PAT

Hire-Purchase Facility

RM233.3M loans p.a. generating RM40.4M interest income

EV Insurance

RM9.5M gross premium at 12.5% PAT

EV Manufacturing

RM199.1M p.a. turnover at 5.5% PAT

The Carbon Revenue Layer

From Upside to Core Value

Every NEV fleet vehicle generates auditable Scope 1 & 2 reduction data via CAF Connect telematics.

Pathway: Verra Verified Carbon Standard audit → credit issuance → sale through Bursa Malaysia's voluntary carbon market.

Illustrative case: 6,901 kg annual credit per displaced diesel vehicle. As Malaysia's carbon tax lands, this converts from upside to core value proposition.

Asset-Light Cost Structure

Sample Fleet Over Showroom

Working vehicles placed with customers instead of a RM2M showroom build — direct conversion, no sunk cost

Contract Assembly Over Owned Factory

NEXv and Ingress partnerships avoid an estimated RM5M+ service-centre and plant build in Phase 1

Partner Workshops Over Company Branches

QL Auto's 24 exclusive workshops deliver national coverage without property or headcount cost

Lean Core Team

Technology-leveraged: CRM, telematics dashboards and compliance trackers replace headcount. Every ringgit goes to inventory, demos and working capital — assets that convert to revenue.

Three Scenarios — Funding Sized to Base

Funding Philosophy

Tranches are sized to the base case — the stretch case is upside, not a dependency.

Conservative scenario protects investors from over-commitment. Base scenario is the funded plan. Stretch scenario represents the JV's full potential if all levers perform.

A full break-even analysis is a committed pre-close deliverable in the data room.

What Moves the Model — Key Sensitivities

Financial Governance Commitments

01

Pre-Close

Independent accountant-validated financial model with full assumption appendix before term sheets are signed

02

Quarterly

Investor reporting covering unit economics, pipeline conversion rates and cash runway

03

Annual

Audited financial statements — full statutory audit on schedule

04

Tranche Gates

Milestone certificates issued by independent verifiers before each tranche release

Part F — Funding Strategy

The Ask

Staged capital released against verified milestones. Not a survival raise — an acceleration of a working model.

Funding Philosophy

Capital is fuel, not oxygen. NEV raises to accelerate a working model — supply chain, product, demand all evidenced — not to survive. Control matters: operational decisions stay with the team that built the supply chain; investors receive governance rights proportionate to risk taken.

The Tranche Roadmap

1

Tranche 1

Months 0–12 · CBU Acceleration · Sample fleet, homologation, LOI conversion, first 10–20 dealers, after-sales MOU network

Capital Structure Options Compared

The Leasing Facility in Detail

This structure lets banks and asset financiers fund fleet growth at debt cost — reserving expensive equity for platform build. Every financed vehicle is trackable in real time, reducing portfolio risk for lenders.

Investor Archetypes — What Each Wants

Strategic Corporates

Logistics, energy, automotive players seeking supply security and ESG delivery for their own fleets and customers

Government-Linked Funds

Jobs creation, NAP localisation delivery, and NETR policy alignment — all three embedded in the NEV model

Chinese PE/VC via JMC

Belt & Road capital deployment with a trusted, established RHD partner — the Malaysia-China fund channel

Family Offices

Asset-backed yield from the receivables book plus growth exposure through the equity layer

Banks & Leasing Companies

The receivables book — a growing, telematics-monitored commercial EV HP portfolio

The Malaysia-China Capital Structure

Structure Rationale

  • 51/49 split preserves Malaysian operational control and NAP compliance
  • RMB1B matching-investment framework aligns incentives across both sides
  • Technology transfer from Wuling and Yudo Auto already contractually secured
  • JMC fund agreement opens Chinese institutional PE and VC channels simultaneously

Milestone-Gated Capital Release

Money follows proof. Each tranche unlocks on independently verifiable events — homologation certificates, binding orders, revenue recognition, CKD certification, local content audits. This protects investors from execution risk and protects founders from renegotiation pressure.

Valuation and Terms Framing

Anchor Points for Valuation

  • Secured supply chain and exclusive rights — replacement cost plus scarcity premium
  • Demonstrated unit economics with first deposited customer
  • Binding order book value at close
  • Comparable ASEAN EV distribution transactions

Terms Philosophy

  • Fair governance — board observer to minority board seat, scaling by tranche
  • No ratchets that punish the base case — downside protection without distortion
  • Founder control preserved through the programme via the 51/49 structure
  • Shareholder agreement summary prepared for diligence before term sheets — not after
Part G — Execution

Investor Process & Timeline

Month 1

Data room complete; break-even model validated; after-sales MOU signed; investor outreach begins

Month 2

Targeted outreach to 15–20 shortlisted investors by archetype — warm-pathed, evidenced approaches only

Month 3

Management meetings and live vehicle demonstrations with shortlisted investors

Months 4–5

Term sheets, legal diligence and negotiation — parallel track on leasing facility

Month 6

First close; Tranche 1 deployment begins

What We Will Not Do

No Pre-Data-Room Raise

Capital approached only after the data room is honest and complete

No LOIs Presented as Revenue

Letters of intent are pipeline evidence, not recognised revenue

No Control Surrender

Operational control is not for sale at any price

No Scattergun Outreach

Every approach is targeted, warm-pathed and evidence-backed

No Single-Point Dependency

No dependency on any single investor, OEM or market — by design

Operating Model — Lean by Design

Core Principles

  • Small core team leveraged by technology — CRM, telematics and compliance trackers
  • Commission-based sales structures with defined KPIs and 4–5 month performance gates
  • Partner networks for assembly, workshops and technician training
  • Headcount follows revenue — never precedes it

Phase 1 Hires (Funded by the Raise)

  • Fleet sales lead — commission plus KPI structure
  • Follow-up and pipeline coordinator
  • After-sales technical lead via High-Tech Auto Parts partnership
  • Part-time finance controller

Engineering and technology capability added at CKD stage, not before.

Go-to-Market — Priority Corridors & Segments

Segment Sequence

1

Last-Mile & City Logistics

CE1/CE2 sweet spot — highest volume, fastest payback proof

2

Construction Vehicles

Mixers, dump trucks — high value, low EV competition

3

Shuttle & Government Fleets

Ankai bus family and passenger line — LOI-supported

The Sales Engine — Structured Pipeline Discipline

Every prospect has an owner, a status, and a next action with a date. Demonstration vehicles close deals; the funded sample fleet feeds the engine at every stage.

Supply Chain Roadmap — Three Phases

Phase 1 — CBU

Import complete vehicles from the multi-factory network. Sell and lease. Lowest capital requirement, fastest to market.

Phase 2 — CKD

Knocked-down kits assembled by Malaysian contract partners (NEXv, Ingress). Reduces tariffs, improves margins, builds local capability.

Phase 3 — Buatan Malaysia

40% local parts content. Local manufacturing jobs. ASEAN RHD export. NAP and NETR incentive qualification.

The Partnership Ecosystem

Carbon Data Pipeline

Telematics-to-audit-ready pipeline feeding Verra VCS methodology and Bursa Malaysia carbon market

Part H — Risk Register

Top Five Risks & Mitigations

Regulatory & Homologation Risk

Status

MITI, JPJ and Customs approvals in progress for landed sample vehicles. Applications submitted for priority high-demand models first.

Mitigation Strategy

  • Experienced advisors with active MITI engagement history embedded in the process
  • Phased vehicle-type approvals starting with CE1/CE2 — the highest-demand pair
  • Tranche gates mean no capital is deployed ahead of certification — investors protected

Competition & Concentration Risk

Chinese OEM Direct Entry

Risk: Foton, JAC, Sinotruk enter Malaysia directly. Defence: fleet relationships and after-sales trust are local moats OEMs cannot ship in a container. First-mover fleet partnerships lock in loyalty.

Assembly Partner Competition

Risk: NEXv and Ingress carry competing brands. Defence: multi-OEM neutrality means NEV wins whichever brand the customer ultimately chooses. Exclusive T3EV rights anchor the core catalogue.

Market Concentration

Risk: Over-reliance on a single segment or corridor. Defence: segment sequence and geographic diversification across five corridors built into the go-to-market plan from day one.

Governance & Compliance

JV Structure

51/49 with clearly defined reserved matters — operational and strategic decision boundaries set before capital enters

Legal Counsel

Board member with 25 years MNC practice — shareholder agreement summary prepared before term sheets, not after

Financing Compliance

Compliance tracking across the HP and leasing book — risk level, PIC, status and deadlines tracked in real time

Audit Cadence

Annual statutory audit plus quarterly investor reporting with unit economics, pipeline and cash runway

ESG Alignment — Built In, Not Bolted On

1,500

Direct Jobs

Across three phases of the programme

2,900

Indirect Jobs

Across partner and supply ecosystem

SDG Contributions

  • SDG 7 — Affordable and clean energy transition for commercial fleets
  • SDG 8 & 9 — Decent work and industrial innovation through TVET and manufacturing
  • SDG 11 — Sustainable cities via zero-emission urban logistics
  • SDG 13 — Climate action via verified carbon reduction
  • SDG 17 — Malaysia-China partnership model

Battery lifecycle: cascade to energy storage, metal recovery, cell reproduction — circular by design.
