The National Automotive Policy (NAP) was first introduced in 2006 under the Third Industrial Masterplan (IMP3) 2006-2020 to transform the automotive industry as one of the important contributors of our economy, It outlined key directions and strategies in preparing the local automotive players towards a more competitive and sustainable automotive industry. In 2009, the second version of the policy was introduced, to focus on enhancing the capabilities of the domestic automotive industry and to create a more conducive environment
for investments.

A third version was introduced in 2014, named NAP 2014 which placed emphasis on green initiatives, market expansion, as well as enhancement of the entire automotive ecosystem through development of technology, human capital and supply chain.
