The deadlines start from <strong data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"679\">October 1, 2025<\/strong>, and end by <strong data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"708\">July 1, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"1093\">Malaysia&#8217;s roads are getting stricter \u2014 and safer. Starting 2025, <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"838\">Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ)<\/strong> is rolling out a national enforcement plan that makes <strong data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"928\">Speed Limitation Devices (SLDs)<\/strong> mandatory for <strong data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"976\">all heavy commercial vehicles<\/strong>. Whether you run a logistics fleet, a school bus company, or a long-haul trucking business, this law applies to you.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1209\">The goal? To <strong data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1128\">prevent speeding<\/strong>, reduce deadly crashes, and bring Malaysia in line with global safety practices.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1589\">The SLD law doesn\u2019t treat all vehicles the same. Instead, JPJ has divided enforcement into <strong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1322\">three key phases<\/strong>, depending on your vehicle\u2019s age and engine control unit (ECU) capability. Each phase has its own <strong data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1442\">compliance action<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1459\">deadline<\/strong>.

Many of these vehicles travel long distances at high speeds, often overloaded or driven under time pressure. The results have been devastating \u2014 with <strong data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1087\">fatal highway crashes<\/strong>, high-impact collisions, and major public safety risks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1466\">To stop this, <strong data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1195\">JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan)<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1235\">Ministry of Transport (MOT)<\/strong> introduced a new rule requiring all heavy vehicles to use <strong data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1329\">Speed Limitation Devices (SLDs)<\/strong>. These devices cap the maximum speed to a safe limit \u2014 normally <strong data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1405\">90 km\/h<\/strong> \u2014 regardless of how hard the driver presses the accelerator.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1761\">This is part of a wider <strong data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1514\">road safety policy<\/strong> known as <strong data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1539\">Vision Zero<\/strong>, which aims to eliminate road deaths entirely. The initiative is also supported by <strong data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1678\">MIROS (Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research)<\/strong> and follows global regulations like <strong data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1760\">United Nations Regulation No. 89 (UN R89)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1763\" data-end=\"2047\">Another reason behind this enforcement is to <strong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1864\">standardize safety compliance across fleet operators<\/strong> in both urban and rural areas. Too many operators delay safety upgrades or rely on driver discipline alone. By making SLDs mandatory, <strong data-start=\"1999\" data-end=\"2046\">JPJ removes that risk at the hardware level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2188\">In short, this isn\u2019t just another road rule \u2014 it\u2019s a life-saving decision. With deadlines now officially confirmed, the time to act is now.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2188\">Overview of the 3 JPJ SLD Compliance Phases<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"125\" data-end=\"415\">To make sure all vehicle owners have enough time to comply, JPJ has introduced a <strong data-start=\"206\" data-end=\"226\">three-phase plan<\/strong> for the <strong data-start=\"235\" data-end=\"280\">Speed Limitation Device (SLD) enforcement<\/strong>. Each phase is based on <strong data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"347\">the manufacturing year of your vehicle<\/strong> and whether it already has an <strong data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"414\">ECU that supports SLD activation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"661\">These compliance phases are <strong data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"461\">not optional<\/strong>. If your vehicle is in the commercial transport category \u2014 like a <strong data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"565\">lorry, bus, coach, or fleet truck<\/strong> \u2014 you must follow the correct phase and complete the process <strong data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"660\">before your assigned deadline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"688\">Here\u2019s a quick breakdown:<\/p>\n<div class=\"TyagGW_tableContainer\">\n<div class=\"group TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"1277\">\n<thead data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"757\">\n<tr data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"757\">\n<th data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"702\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"701\">Phase<\/strong><\/th>\n<th data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"721\" data-col-size=\"md\"><strong data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"720\">Vehicle Type<\/strong><\/th>\n<th data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"741\" data-col-size=\"md\"><strong data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"740\">Action Needed<\/strong><\/th>\n<th data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"757\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"755\">Deadline<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"1277\">\n<tr data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"988\">\n<td data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"843\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"842\">Phase 1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"914\">Vehicles manufactured <strong data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"888\">after Jan 1, 2015<\/strong> with built-in SLD in ECU<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"965\"><strong data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"937\">Verify &amp; activate<\/strong> the speed limiter function<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"988\"><strong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"986\">October 1, 2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1137\">\n<td data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1003\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1002\">Phase 2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1076\" data-col-size=\"md\">Vehicles built <strong data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1042\">before Jan 1, 2015<\/strong>, but <strong data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1075\">with ECU capable of SLD<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1114\"><strong data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1113\">Reactivate dormant SLD function<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1137\"><strong data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1135\">January 1, 2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1277\">\n<td data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1152\" data-col-size=\"sm\"><strong data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1151\">Phase 3<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1200\" data-col-size=\"md\">Older vehicles with <strong data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1199\">no SLD or ECU support<\/strong><\/td>\n<td data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1257\" data-col-size=\"md\"><strong data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1243\">Install a certified, tamper-proof SLD<\/strong> via retrofit<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"sm\" data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1277\"><strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1275\">July 1, 2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1534\">Each phase has its own <strong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1321\">technical steps<\/strong>, required <strong data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1345\">documents<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1377\">inspection checkpoints<\/strong> via <strong data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1394\">PUSPAKOM<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1407\">APAD<\/strong>.

Audit Your Fleet Vehicles by Manufacturing Year<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"788\">Start by listing all your commercial vehicles and grouping them by:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"853\">\n<li data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"813\">\n<p data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"813\"><strong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"813\">Manufacturing date<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"828\">\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"828\"><strong data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"828\">ECU type<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"853\">\n<p data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"853\"><strong data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"853\">Current SLD status<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"979\">This helps you identify which vehicle falls into <strong data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"915\">Phase 1<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"922\">2<\/strong>, or <strong data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"932\">3<\/strong> \u2014 so you know exactly what action is required.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1068\">\ud83d\udca1 <em data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1068\">Use your logbook (geran), VTA certificate, or chassis plate to confirm build year.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1115\">2. Check SLD Support in Your ECU<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1329\">For vehicles from <strong data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1150\">before 2015<\/strong>, run a diagnostic to check if the <strong data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1216\">ECU supports SLD activation<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1220\" \/>If yes \u2192 you only need activation.<br data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1257\" \/>If no \u2192 you\u2019ll need a <strong data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1304\">retrofit installation<\/strong> with a certified device.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1396\">Schedule a check with a <strong data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1395\">JPJ-registered installer or verifier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1450\">3. Book Installation or Activation Early<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1565\">Certified workshops will be overwhelmed as deadlines approach.
