Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the initiative would benefit prudent drivers based on their vehicle conditions, mileage and traffic offences’ demerits.

“This flexible road tax payment system is an incentive from the government to prudent drivers to reduce their road tax rates.

“With the advancement of technology, we can now know their mileage, so the lower the mileage, the lower the road tax rates.

“We can study the system for the future, but not so soon,” he told a press conference after witnessing the signing ceremony of a collaboration agreement between Atilze Digital Sdn Bhd and U Mobile Sdn Bhd here yesterday.

He said the collaboration to introduce the Connected Car Solution would benefit the transport operators through the OBDII connected car devices.
