In line with the increased demand for transportation services, we require smart solutions.

Stefan Pertz, the organiser of MCVE 2022, emphasised,
Today we celebrate a resilient industry though. The pandemic has certainly put all of us to the test. A test that we have passed, thanks to the dedication of the transport industry. This year’s Malaysia Commercial Vehicle Exhibition (MCVE) is a celebration of this. Not only are we celebrating the innovations and brands that have been brought together here at the show, but also every single driver, supplier to the industry, associations and authorities.
In 2019, 60 exhibitors joined the event and many of which have returned for this year’s instalment. Altogether, 45 exhibitors have gathered here to celebrate the industry and its personnel. Stefan Pertz said he is delighted to see the participation of the leading brands such as MAN Truck & Bus as Gold Sponsor, Hap Seng Trucks Distribution as Sponsor, Caltex being the Official Lubricant, Scania Malaysia, Volvo Trucks Malaysia, PETRONAS Steelbro, Hammar, CIMC, CAMC, YonMing and Michelin.
Participation of International companies such as Geotab, MCVE’s Telematics Partner, Hengst, Mann+Hummel’s Singapore and Drive Risk from Australia are also sending their representatives. Hengst sponsored a R&R, similar to Malaysia’s reststops along the highways.
The last two years in particular have seen a renewed understanding and appreciation of the drivers: bus captains and truck pilots. The MCVE honours them with activities for those that take time out of their schedules to get involved with the exhibitors to learn about their future tools of the trade. Society has also acknowledged that drivers can make a difference when it comes to the reduction of harmful emissions and the reduction of wastage.
We appeal to all of you to support our drivers in their ambition to further their skills and to be the best they can be. While the machine is certainly a crucial asset, it is the human that, still, remains as having the biggest impact to the bottom line, being it in monetary terms or achieving global goals, such as emission reduction.

As a delegate you will find that this year’s event is having a slightly different feeling from our usual shows. While we are certainly all very enthusiastic, we have to ensure the safety of everyone. Therefore, the fringe programme has been adjusted accordingly. However, we are confident in saying that there is a lot going on and that there will be a lot to be seen. It is thanks to our exhibitors that have given us the vote of confidence in the event.
