MAN Malaysia has announced the successful installation of Speed Limitation Devices (SLD) across all of its customers’ commercial vehicles, completing the programme ahead of the Phase 3 enforcement deadline of July 1, 2026, set by the Road Transport Department (JPJ). The announcement was made on June 28.
MAN Malaysia Beats JPJ Phase 3 Deadline for Fleetwide SLD Installation
Malaysia’s SLD mandate was introduced by Transport Minister Anthony Loke following a series of fatal crashes involving heavy vehicles in 2025. It requires all commercial vehicles to be equipped with devices that electronically cap vehicle speed at 90 km/h.
The three-phase rollout began on October 1, 2025, with the verification of existing SLD functionality on vehicles manufactured after January 1, 2015, followed by ECU activation for older vehicles from January 1, 2026, before culminating in the current Phase 3 retrofit requirement for vehicles not yet equipped with the system. Non-compliant vehicles will be barred from operation, with the most severe penalty being revocation of the operator’s licence.
MAN Malaysia said completing the installations ahead of the deadline reflects the company’s commitment to fleet safety and preparedness. “This is what it means to be MAN ready. Compliant, prepared, and always a step ahead,” it said.
