马来西亚汽车工业创建于20世纪80年代，是象征民族骄傲的国家支柱型产业。在汽车工业经历过发展的高潮和低谷后，从2006年起，政府开始制定国家汽车政策来指导汽车工业的发展。2017年，陷入困境的宝腾汽车选择与吉利集团合作，这使马来西亚汽车工业迎来新的发展。2020年初，政府颁布《国家汽车政策2020》，为未来十年国家汽车产业的发展指明了方向，该政策以下一代汽车、出行即服务、工业4.0为核心，试图引领马来西亚汽车工业实现新的辉煌。
The Malaysian automotive industry was established in the 1980s，and has gradually developed into a pillar industry of the national economy. Since 2006，the ruling government has begun to formulate policies and guidelines to direct the development of Malaysian automotive industry，after its ups and downs. In 2017，the troubled Proton made a decision to cooperate with the Geely Auto，which turned out to bring new development. At the beginning of 2020，Malaysia launched the National Automotive Policy 2020 （NAP 2020），pointing out the development direction and goals for automotive industry in the next 10 years. NAP 2020 focuses on Next-Generation Automobiles，Mobility-as-a-Service，the Industrial Reform 4.0，and attempts to lead Malaysian automotive industry to achieve new levels of success.
