New Energy Valley Sdn Bhd — NEV Funding Strategy Report · July 2026

The opportunity — market context and strategic thesis
The proof — validated business model and evidence in hand
The economics — unit margins, scenarios and sensitivity
Funding strategy, execution plan, risk register and close

NEV is Malaysia's operations-first commercial EV company — a multi-OEM distributor and fleet-solutions provider with a secured China supply chain, 13 models in catalogue, lease-to-own economics, and demand evidence in hand.
We seek staged growth capital released against milestones, structured to preserve founder control, to accelerate from CBU distribution to Make-in-Malaysia assembly.

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.

RM50B in fuel subsidies being removed — raising the true cost of diesel fleets overnight
National Automotive Policy incentivises local EV assembly and manufacture
31% renewable capacity by 2025, rising to 70% by 2050 — EV infrastructure mandate embedded
Incoming carbon pricing creates a hard cost on diesel and a revenue line for verified reductions
Green Investment Tax Allowance and Green Income Tax Exemption extended for ESG-aligned technology

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.

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 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.

Logistics, delivery and construction operators remain locked on diesel. Three converging forces are squeezing them:
Subsidy removal drives true diesel cost to market rates — directly eroding fleet operating margins
Incoming mandatory Scope 1 & 2 disclosure and MNC customer ESG mandates require verified reduction data
Almost no operator has been offered a financed, supported, fully-serviced route to fleet electrification in Malaysia



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.



Direct relationships across multiple Chinese factories — Wuling, JAC, Foton, Shineray. No single-OEM dependency; negotiating leverage on price and allocation.
13 models across 7 categories — matched to use case, not to a franchise. The fleet operator picks the vehicle; NEV wins either way.
Removes the single biggest objection. Fleet operators transition from combustion without capital outlay; NEV captures financing margin and retains asset security.
Generates the per-kilometre TCO and auditable carbon data that enterprise customers must now report — converting compliance burden into competitive advantage.

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

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.

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.

24 exclusive workshops across Peninsular Malaysia — the answer to the number-one fleet objection: local support, not China dependence
Technical partnership in progress for EV repair, battery, air-conditioning and training — to be formalised by MOU

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.

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.

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

To corporates, government and operators at full margin. High-value, relationship-driven, anchors profitability.
Commercial vans, lorries and trucks through 60–70 target dealers plus the 127-dealer CASB platform. Volume at shared margin.

Range RM118K–128K per commercial vehicle
Gross margin per unit on direct fleet deals
Per unit at higher volume through the network
Financing penetration drives recurring interest income
Every additional service attached — financing, insurance, telematics, maintenance — compounds lifetime value per vehicle sold or leased.

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.

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

RM324M p.a. at 4.3% PAT
RM233.3M loans p.a. generating RM40.4M interest income
RM9.5M gross premium at 12.5% PAT
RM199.1M p.a. turnover at 5.5% PAT

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.


Working vehicles placed with customers instead of a RM2M showroom build — direct conversion, no sunk cost
NEXv and Ingress partnerships avoid an estimated RM5M+ service-centre and plant build in Phase 1
QL Auto's 24 exclusive workshops deliver national coverage without property or headcount cost
Technology-leveraged: CRM, telematics dashboards and compliance trackers replace headcount. Every ringgit goes to inventory, demos and working capital — assets that convert to revenue.


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.


Independent accountant-validated financial model with full assumption appendix before term sheets are signed
Investor reporting covering unit economics, pipeline conversion rates and cash runway
Audited financial statements — full statutory audit on schedule
Milestone certificates issued by independent verifiers before each tranche release

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

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.

Months 0–12 · CBU Acceleration · Sample fleet, homologation, LOI conversion, first 10–20 dealers, after-sales MOU network
Months 12–24 · CKD Transition · Contract assembly at scale, 30+ dealers, leasing SPV launched, financing book performing
Months 24–36+ · Make in Malaysia · Full local assembly, 40% local content, ASEAN RHD export, 1,500 direct jobs trajectory








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.

Logistics, energy, automotive players seeking supply security and ESG delivery for their own fleets and customers
Jobs creation, NAP localisation delivery, and NETR policy alignment — all three embedded in the NEV model
Belt & Road capital deployment with a trusted, established RHD partner — the Malaysia-China fund channel
Asset-backed yield from the receivables book plus growth exposure through the equity layer
The receivables book — a growing, telematics-monitored commercial EV HP portfolio



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.


Data room complete; break-even model validated; after-sales MOU signed; investor outreach begins
Targeted outreach to 15–20 shortlisted investors by archetype — warm-pathed, evidenced approaches only
Management meetings and live vehicle demonstrations with shortlisted investors
Term sheets, legal diligence and negotiation — parallel track on leasing facility
First close; Tranche 1 deployment begins

Capital approached only after the data room is honest and complete
Letters of intent are pipeline evidence, not recognised revenue
Operational control is not for sale at any price
Every approach is targeted, warm-pathed and evidence-backed
No dependency on any single investor, OEM or market — by design

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


CE1/CE2 sweet spot — highest volume, fastest payback proof
Mixers, dump trucks — high value, low EV competition
Ankai bus family and passenger line — LOI-supported

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.

Import complete vehicles from the multi-factory network. Sell and lease. Lowest capital requirement, fastest to market.
Knocked-down kits assembled by Malaysian contract partners (NEXv, Ingress). Reduces tariffs, improves margins, builds local capability.
40% local parts content. Local manufacturing jobs. ASEAN RHD export. NAP and NETR incentive qualification.

Wuling, Shineray, JAC, Foton — multi-factory vehicle supply
NEXv, Ingress, partner plants — capacity without capex
CASB platform, 127 dealers, corporate sales partners
EZOP fintech, ChargeSini/Elenergy charging, QL Auto workshops
InvestNS, Invest Selangor, Cyberview, MITI engagement

Operational backbone — real-time fleet location, battery SOC, energy consumption and driving behaviour per vehicle
Every prospect assigned an owner, status and next-action date — no deal falls through the cracks
Lease customer self-service — uptime, TCO and carbon reporting in one interface
Telematics-to-audit-ready pipeline feeding Verra VCS methodology and Bursa Malaysia carbon market


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


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.
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.
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.

51/49 with clearly defined reserved matters — operational and strategic decision boundaries set before capital enters
Board member with 25 years MNC practice — shareholder agreement summary prepared before term sheets, not after
Compliance tracking across the HP and leasing book — risk level, PIC, status and deadlines tracked in real time
Annual statutory audit plus quarterly investor reporting with unit economics, pipeline and cash runway

Across three phases of the programme
Across partner and supply ecosystem
Battery lifecycle: cascade to energy storage, metal recovery, cell reproduction — circular by design.
