Speed Limitation Devices (SLD) will be compulsory for commercial vehicles starting Oct 1.
PETALING JAYA: Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook today reaffirmed that Speed Limitation Devices will be compulsory for commercial vehicles starting Oct 1, as part of the government’s broader efforts to enhance road safety.Responding to Gerik MP Fathul Huzir Ayob in Parliament, Loke reiterated that the ruling would be implemented in stages.“Implementation will begin this October, in phases. It will start with commercial vehicles registered from Jan 1, 2015, onwards.
“It only limits the speed electronically, not mechanically. It doesn’t stop the engine.”He added that the phased approach will give older vehicles time to comply, with full enforcement expected by July next year. The devices will be mandatory for goods vehicles exceeding 3,500kg, as well as passenger vehicles above 5,000kg or those with more than eight seats.
